Another aspect of our life on holidays is an opportunity to visit different concerts, exhibitions and shows. Our long-term clients might remember our site with pictures and phrases from a book about Van Gogh. Another painter inspiring our creative abilities is a well known showman of the 20th century, who adored provoking people with his eccentricity. Of course, it’s Salvador Dali, whose exhibition is now on display at the Novosibirsk State Art Museum. Of course, the halls do not look like the impressive Teatre-Museu Dalí in Figueres (Spain), but the lithographs and sculptures are original objects of art from private collections. Not many art galleries can boast original works by Daly, that’s why we couldn’t let this exhibition pass unnoticed.
The exhibition takes two rooms and a hall and displays some photos and documents as well as authentic lithographs to Lafontaine’s fables and bronze sculptures, which attracted our attention most of all. Moreover, it was even possible to take pictures of the sculptures, and now you can enjoy some of them, too. Among the sculptures there were a figure of a flamenco dancer, a snail, etc., and here you can see Venus with the famous melting clock, showing how flexible time is, and an egg (a symbol of fertility); the other figure is that of a spindly-legged elephant with an angel. Let’s enjoy high art and appreciate geniuses in design and innovative technologies, of which Dali was a real expert. Although the main idea for Dali and other surrealist artists was to make objects that did not function, we are going to make applications that do function.
