A Surreal Encounter: Dali's Living Imagination in Delhi

The exhibition 'Dali Comes to India' was held at the India Habitat Centre from 7 February to 13 February and later displayed at Masarrat Gallery by Bruno Art Group from 15 February to 16 March.

 This collection, owned by Christine Argillet, daughter of Dalí's close friend and publisher Pierre Argillet, offers a unique glimpse into the artist's fantastical world and his fascination with Eastern mysticism, particularly how it was perceived in the West during the 1960s and 70s.

Dalí's illustrations for Goethe's Faust, particularly the "Walpurgis Night" scenes, showcase his remarkable technical skill. His unconventional use of tools like roulettes, rubies, and diamonds lends an unusual delicacy to these etchings.

This exhibition offers a chance to explore the multifaceted layers of Dalí's personality, his obsessions, and his unique worldview.
