Dali, the Endless Enigma
Date: 26 Jun 2021, 10:00am - 11:00am PT, en français
Avec Isabelle Cocatrix

Pour préparer votre prochaine visite à l’atelier des lumières, je vous propose une conférence qui vous permettra de mieux comprendre les œuvres énigmatiques de ce génie extravagant.

La célébrité du peintre espagnol est intimement liée au mouvement surréaliste dont il sera l'un des plus célèbres représentants. Son oeuvre, souvent dérangeante, parfois déroutante, est nourrie de ses fantasmes, ses rêves et ses peurs, mais aussi de sa connaissance de la psychanalyse.
