LONDON, ENGLAND.- Tate Modern presents a ground breaking exhibition, Dalí & Film, the first exhibition ever to focus on the close relationship between the paintings and films of Salvador Dalí (1904–1989). Opening today, Dali & Film will be an unprecedented exploration of the central role of cinema in Dalí’s art. Widely regarded as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Dali’s surrealist paintings are undoubtedly among the most recognizable works of art made in the last hundred years. His collaborations with Luis Buñuel, Alfred Hitchcock, and Walt Disney also created some of the most memorable and influential scenes in avant-garde cinema.
Dalí & Film will be arranged chronologically and will bring together more than one hundred works from collections around the world, including over sixty paintings. These will be seen alongside Dalí’s major film projects such as Un Chien andalou, L’Âge d’or (1929–30), Spellbound (1945) and Destino (1946), as well as associated photographs, drawings and manuscripts.
