Where Ideas Come From: Dalí’s Drawings

Where Ideas Come From: Dalí’s Drawings
One Dali Blvd. St. Petersburg, FL 33701

This exhibition brings together approximately 100 rarely seen works on paper from The Dalí Museum’s permanent collection. Spanning the entire length of Dalí’s creative life, from 1916 through 1974, the exhibition provides insight into the artist’s creative process as seen over a variety of media, including pencil, pen, charcoal, watercolor, gouache, and more.

Organized chronologically from 1916 to 1974, the works in the exhibition are delineated into four distinct periods of the artist’s life: Early Period, Surrealism, Nuclear Mysticism, Classicism and Religion, and Late Period. Within these sections, various thematic groupings will feature studies for major oil paintings, portraits, experimental drawing techniques, and commercial projects, including film.

The exhibition is organized by The Dalí and curated by Peter Tush, Senior Curator of Education at The Dalí Museum.

Hours: Open daily 10 a.m.-6 p.m. (Thursdays until 8 p.m.)
