Salvador Dalí exhibit on display at Madrid museum

The exhibition devoted to Salvador Dalí opened in Madrid at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía to last through September 2, 2013, Yareah Magazine reported.

The show contains more than two hundred pieces, including paintings, sculptures and drawings. Dalí is also presented as pioneering in performance art and happenings and author of ephemeral works. Some exhibits show his participation in the field of photography, theater and film. It is a selection of works from the collections of the Dalí Foundation in Figueres, the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid and the Dali Museum in Florida, the three major organizers of the retrospective together with the Centre Pompidou.

The exhibition focuses primarily on his surrealist period. Special attention is devoted to his paranoid-critical method, which he developed as a mechanism for the transformation and subversion of reality, allowing the final interpretation of a work to depend totally on the viewer.
