Dalí: Disruption + Devotion

Dalí the provocateur and Dalí the devoted student of the Old Masters share the walls in Dalí: Disruption + Devotion, co-organized with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Curators Jennifer Cohen of The Dalí and Frederick Ilchman of the MFA draw paintings, drawings and prints from both collections. They set Dalí beside El Greco, Orazio Gentileschi and Diego Velázquez to show how he admired and reworked the European painters who came before him. The show's signature images are Dalí's 1958 Velázquez Painting the Infanta Margarita with the Lights and Shadows of His Own Glory and Velázquez's Infanta Maria Theresa of 1653, from Boston. Ringling College students added a digital piece that folds visitors' QR-code responses into a shifting projection.
