The Faberge Museum, following the general line - “We are not a museum easter eggs", following the Frida Kahlo show, he opened the exhibition "Salvador Dali. Surrealist and classic." A motley audience from Olga Golodets to Philip Kirkorov gathered for the vernissage.
P Moreover, Madam Deputy Prime Minister visited Dali twice. In the morning - before the official opening, to have a quiet look. In the evening - to say welcoming words to the organizers of the exhibition - the Faberge Museum and the Gala - Salvador Dali Foundation from Figueres, the main exhibitor. The most numerous guests St. Petersburg museum workers began the opening day. It means that private Museum Faberge became their own for them.
So, six reasons why it’s worth spending 450 rubles on Dali.
1. This is the first large exhibition of Dali in St. Petersburg: 150 paintings and graphic sheets. The recent Hermitage project “Surrealism in Catalonia. It is not for nothing that the artists of Ampurdana and Salvador Dali are named in this order. There is not much painting in the Shuvalov Palace (mainly graphics), but it is important and interesting. But there are absolutely no large-scale sculptures, jewelry and other rubbish in which there is little artist and a lot of marketing.
2. It is clearly shown what the Gala - Salvador Dali Foundation spends its money on. In 2011, he purchased Landscape with Mysterious Elements (1934) for $11 million. This is a dedication to Jan Vermeer, whom the super-proud Dali highly valued, and a paraphrase of his painting “Allegory of Painting.” Dali portrayed himself as a little boy. So young that you won't recognize it.
As Joan Manuel Sevillano, managing director of the foundation, told City 812, about $60 million has been spent over the past 18 years on acquiring Dalí's works. However, prices for Dali are growing faster than the fund's income - you have to carefully weigh what to buy.
3. Yes good opportunity see not just the full -100 pieces - a series of lithographs for “ Divine Comedy» Dante, and the authentic sheets are from 1959-1963. Italy ordered this series from Dali in 1950 for the then-upcoming 700th anniversary of the poet. But a scandal ensued: why is a foreigner, and even an erotomaniac, almost a pornographer? As a result, the order was cancelled, but the artist completed the work and the edition was printed in France. It is unknown where Dali hid the original drawings.
4. To see how in his declining years, they say, due to the death of Gala, Dali turned to Michelangelo and created a series of paintings based on sculptures on the Medici graves and paintings Sistine Chapel. Maybe for another reason: he decided that he needed to argue with the Titan of the Renaissance.
Of course, it’s better to imagine what Michelangelo’s “Pieta”, “Moses”, “Day”, “Night” and “The Creation of Adam” look like. They are listed in the exhibition catalogue.
Pay attention to Adam - Dali assembles him from orange, gray and yellow pixels, anticipating the digital era.
5. Look at good curatorial and exhibition work. You immediately see where the surrealist is, where the classic is, where the painting is, where the graphics are. For those who are in a hurry and quickly tire of art, some of the illustrations for the “Divine Comedy” and several late paintings exhibited in separate rooms. But it’s better to push yourself and after the main White Hall take a look at “Fallen Angel” and “The Shining of Beatrice”.
6. Our choice. Ink drawings for the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, almost the entire series. You may not know anything about Italian sculptor XVI century, who called himself the first man in the world, committed several murders and was imprisoned in the Castel Sant'Angelo "for sodomy", from where he escaped in the classic way- according to the tied sheets, but there was not enough bed linen - he broke his leg.
SALVADOR DALI. SURREALIST AND CLASSIC
Faberge Museum in St. Petersburg
On March 31, 2017, the opening of the exhibition “Salvador Dali. Surrealist and classic." For the first time in St. Petersburg, such a large-scale exhibition will be shown, including more than 150 paintings and graphic works by Dali, provided by the Gala - Salvador Dali Foundation in Figueres (Catalonia, Spain), as well as other museum and private collections. The exhibition allows you to trace creative path the artist, starting with the surreal works of the 1930s that made him famous and ending with his appeals to the subjects of classical European art in the 1980s. Particular emphasis is placed on Salvador Dali’s understanding of the legacy of geniuses Italian Renaissance- Michelangelo and Cellini, as well as Dante's Divine Comedy.
Salvador Dali, one of the main artists who determined the development of art of the 20th century, was endlessly paradoxical, like the 20th century itself. Instantly recognizable and unlike anyone else, it will forever go down not only in history visual arts, but also into the history of design, fashion, theater, cinema and literature. He managed to reflect in his work almost all the great ideas and contradictions of his time. The exhibition at the Faberge Museum provides an opportunity to touch the remarkable diversity of Dali's work, and to feel the inner kinship between modernism and classicism contained in his works.
Most early works, presented at the exhibition - surreal landscapes of 1934-1937. Dali depicts the desert landscapes of Ampurdan and introduces them into various figures and elements. Their mysterious combinations are reminiscent of dreams, and perhaps reveal to us the content of the unconscious artist, which he, through his “paranoid-critical method,” frees from the yoke of logic and reason and transfers into painting.
The exhibition will feature one of the most interesting works of this period - "Landscape with Mysterious Elements" (1934) - a recent and record-breaking acquisition of the Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation; it was purchased from a private collector in 2011. In this work Dali originally quotes famous masterpiece"The Art of Painting" by Vermeer. Dali admired the personality and work of the Dutch painter throughout his life, putting him in first place in his scandalous comparative table importance of artists and even called him a “comprehensive surrealist.” Paying tribute to his “mentor,” Dali often depicted Vermeer in his paintings. So in “Landscape with Mysterious Elements” he places it in the foreground of the Ampurdan Valley, permeated with amazing, unearthly light, and himself, still just a child, dressed in a sailor’s costume, accompanied by a nanny, somewhere in the distance. Fragments of reality - the sky, cypress trees, the ideal Ampurdan village of Portligat - coexist in the picture with ghosts, shadows and fantastic nameless forms, giving the widest field for interpretation.
These and other iconic surreal images will continue to appear constantly in Dali's works, but over time they will begin to change their meaning. In the painting “In Search of the Fourth Dimension,” painted much later, in 1979, during the period of the artist’s active experiments with stereoscopic and holographic images, which can help find the third and fourth dimensions, and therefore, according to Dali’s logic, allow one to gain immortality, we again see its symbolism - white tunics, bread, cypress trees, soft watches, but in a completely different context. In an attempt to unite space and time, Dalí combines his own imagery with quotations from canonical works of the Renaissance - Raphael's "The School of Athens" and Perugino's "Transfer of the Keys to the Apostle Peter". However, the interest in classical European painting appears in Dali much earlier.
Immediately after his break with the surrealists and further, in the early 1940s, Dali proclaimed a return to classicism and defended the values of the Renaissance. The artist’s broad intellectual and creative interests do not fit into any of current trends of that time, and are truly reminiscent of the humanism of the Renaissance. In 1945, he created a series of illustrations for the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, one of the most famous representatives Florentine Renaissance. Dali freely interprets Cellini's text, providing maximum opportunities for his imagination. These illustrations, made in watercolor and ink on paper, will be shown at an exhibition at the Faberge Museum.
Another large-scale project of Dali, aimed at understanding the monuments of classical European art and literature, is his series of illustrations for the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, commissioned from him on the occasion of Dante’s 700th birthday by the State Printing Institute of Italy. Dali began this work in 1950 in the coastal village of Cadaques and completed it two years later, completing 102 illustrations in various techniques using watercolor, gouache, sanguine and ink. Between 1959 and 1963, 100 of them were reproduced using photogravure techniques. All one hundred illustrations that were included in the final series and have now become textbook illustrations can be seen at the exhibition.
Also at the exhibition will be presented paintings, executed by Salvador Dali in the early 1980s and dedicated to another great master of the Renaissance, Michelangelo Buonarotti. Working with Michelangelo's subjects, Dali shows great respect for tradition and the past, but at the same time does not hide his desire to surpass them through constant innovation and immersion in modernity. Several of these works were first shown to the public only last year at a thematic exhibition in Italy, and will come to Russia for the first time. These works lift the veil on little-studied in recent years Dali's life. The death of his only and beloved wife and muse Gala (Elena Dyakonova) in June 1982 becomes a strong blow for him and makes him increasingly think about the afterlife. Dali has a passionate interest in the topic of immortality and writes whole line works in which he interprets classic images Michelangelo with the same uncontrollable imagination characteristic of him. IN famous work"Geological Echo. Pietà (1982) Dali embeds the figures of the Virgin Mary and Christ into the rocky landscape of the Gulf of Cadaqués, as if trying to find the divine in the earthly. And in a kind of artistic testament “Based on the “Head” Giuliano Medici"Michelangelo" (1982) the artist combines all his characteristic different stages symbols and techniques - the beauty of a classical profile, a mysterious, surreal landscape filled with strange figures, uses the effect optical illusion, as if summing up their creative quests. He also creates a whole series of works in which the images of the “Tomb of the Medici”, decorating the chapel of the dynasty of the main patrons of the Renaissance, become a majestic memorial for Gala and himself and grant them immortality, at least in the dimension of world art.
The exhibition is organized by the Link of Times Cultural and Historical Foundation and the Faberge Museum (Russia) in partnership with the Gala Foundation --- El Salvador Dali" (Catalonia, Spain). The exhibition coordinator is the company Mondo Mostre (Italy). The curators of the exhibition are Monse Ager, director of the Dali Museums of the Gala - Salvador Dali Foundation and Thomas Clement Salomon, researcher at the Mondo Mostre company.

Illustrations for the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini
“Surrealism is me!” declared Salvador Dali about his place in this art direction. However, in 1936 he moved away from him, starting to defend the values of the Renaissance. In 1945, Dali, for example, created a series of illustrations for the autobiography of the Florentine sculptor and painter Benvenuto Cellini, considered one of the most prominent representatives Renaissance. These works, done in ink and watercolor, are also presented at the St. Petersburg exhibition.

Illustrations for “The Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri
What does Dante's hell look like as imagined by Salvador Dali? The answer to this question also gives Faberge Museum. In 1950 State Printing Institute of Italy commissioned the artist to create a series of illustrations for "Divine Comedy" Dante Alighieri, dedicated to the 700th anniversary of the poet. The result of Dali's work was 102 drawings, made in various techniques using watercolor, gouache and ink. Subsequently, the order was canceled: the Italian public expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the work of the great Italian poet They entrusted the illustration to the Spaniard. However, Salvador Dali did not give up and turned for help to the French publisher Joseph Fauré, who, in turn, acted as an intermediary between the artist and the publishing house Les Heures Claires, who eventually published a book with these illustrations. 100 drawings from this series will be presented at the exhibition.
