Through paintings, drawings, objects, photographs and documents, this exhibition aims to reveal the literary and aesthetic sources and influences that came together to forge Dalí’s method and idea of beauty. These elective affinities are defined through Dalí’s relationship with the literature of Lautréamont and Raymond Roussel, his friendship with Duchamp and Man Ray as a point of convergence of optical research and a surpassing of retinal painting as well as the mechanisms of the chess game, not to mention modernist architecture and sculpture and their move towards a soft aesthetic, transformation of an ultra-local landscape into an aesthetic motif, Surrealist affinities through the common language of metaphysics, and a concept of the feminine and of love based on an interpretation of Gradiva’s dream and the erotic drawings of the 1930s, to show how all these affinities converged in the paranoid-critical method.
