Coffee with a Curator - Peter Tush: "An Introduction to Dalí’s Symbols"
June 3, 2020
Coffee with a Curator is a focused, theme-oriented presentation on a variety of Dalí-related topics. The talk is presented by one of the Dalí Museum’s Curatorial/Education team or an invited speaker.
In this talk, Curator of Education Peter Tush presents "An Introduction to Dalí’s Symbols." It is often stated that Dalí’s puzzling images invite symbolic interpretation and that his symbols are both general and personal. This talk will survey a selection of the most memorable symbols found in Dalí’s art, and demonstrate how he uses these symbols to create a personal language and an iconic brand. From crutches to ants to melting watches, understanding Dalí’s symbols allows a deeper experience of his art. Visit our KZread channel at 10:30am to discover the rich world of Dalí’s art.
