"...my audience mustn't know whether I'm spoofing or being serious; and likewise,I mustn't know either." – Dalí
In this one-day course we look at the rich and varied career of one of the 20th century’s most prolific talents – the creative and flamboyant Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. We follow his development from his Catalonian origins via Paris to America and back again. We look at the recurring themes in his work, not only in his painting but also in film and design; and at contemporary and later responses to his work.
