Salvador Dalě
September 12 2004 - January 4 2005 |
 |
|
Dalí is a controversial artist.
Probably the most famous and popular artist of the 20th century, he was also often
treated with slight detachment by art historians and critics, as a result of the
aura of veniality with which he shrouded his image and which earned him the nickname
“Avida Dollars”, an anagram of his name invented by Breton.
Dalí himself contributed to creating a sort of dichotomy between the two periods
of his art production, before and after his years in the United States. This watershed
coincided with his expulsion from the Surrealist movement and the publication
of his Secret Life of Salvador Dalí. |

original sculptures and paintings in the Borghese Gallery date back to Cardinal
Scipione's collection, the son of Ortensia Borghese - Paolo V's sister - and of
Francesco Caffarelli, though subsequent events over the next three centuries entailing
both losses and acquisition have left their mark. Cardinal Scipion was drawn to
any works of ancient, Renaissance and contemporary art which might re-evoke a
new golden age. He was not particularly interested in medieval art, but passionately
sought to acquire antique sculpture. But Cardinal Scipione was so ambitious that
he promoted the creation of new sculptures and especially marble groups to rival
antique works. | |

La Triennale di Milano
- Viale Alemagna, 6 - 20121 - Milano - Italy - tel. +39 02.72.43.41 |
|
Born as a panorama of modern decorative
and industrial arts, with the purpose of stimulating the relationship between
industry, the manufacturing sectors and applied arts, the Triennial quickly revealed
itself as a mirror of the artistic and architectural culture in Italy and one
of the main centres of confrontation for emerging trends. |
