Dali: The Late Work - 9/2 - 9/30/10
The High Museum of Art will be the sole venue for the first exhibition to focus specifically on Salvador Dalí's art after 1940. The exhibition will feature more than 40 paintings and a related group of drawings, prints and other Dalí ephemera. While Dalí is best known as a leading member of the surrealist movement of the 1930s, "Dalí: The Late Work" will reassess his career from 1940 to his death in 1989. Dalí’s late work—which makes up more than half of his total artistic output—drew inspiration simultaneously from the old masters and the contemporary world, resulting in works that were markedly out of step with the prevailing styles of their day, but today appear strikingly contemporary. "Dalí: The Late Work" aims to reevaluate the last half of Dalí's career, beginning in the late 1930s with the transition from his well-known surrealist canvases to his self-reinvention as an artist in 1941, when he embraced Catholicism and declared himself a classicist.

Dali: The Late Work - 10/1 - 10/31/10
The High Museum of Art will be the sole venue for the first exhibition to focus specifically on Salvador Dalí's art after 1940. The exhibition will feature more than 40 paintings and a related group of drawings, prints and other Dalí ephemera. While Dalí is best known as a leading member of the surrealist movement of the 1930s, "Dalí: The Late Work" will reassess his career from 1940 to his death in 1989. Dalí’s late work—which makes up more than half of his total artistic output—drew inspiration simultaneously from the old masters and the contemporary world, resulting in works that were markedly out of step with the prevailing styles of their day, but today appear strikingly contemporary. "Dalí: The Late Work" aims to reevaluate the last half of Dalí's career, beginning in the late 1930s with the transition from his well-known surrealist canvases to his self-reinvention as an artist in 1941, when he embraced Catholicism and declared himself a classicist.

Dali: The Late Work - 12/1 - 12/31/10
The High Museum of Art will be the sole venue for the first exhibition to focus specifically on Salvador Dalí's art after 1940. The exhibition will feature more than 40 paintings and a related group of drawings, prints and other Dalí ephemera. While Dalí is best known as a leading member of the surrealist movement of the 1930s, "Dalí: The Late Work" will reassess his career from 1940 to his death in 1989. Dalí’s late work—which makes up more than half of his total artistic output—drew inspiration simultaneously from the old masters and the contemporary world, resulting in works that were markedly out of step with the prevailing styles of their day, but today appear strikingly contemporary. "Dalí: The Late Work" aims to reevaluate the last half of Dalí's career, beginning in the late 1930s with the transition from his well-known surrealist canvases to his self-reinvention as an artist in 1941, when he embraced Catholicism and declared himself a classicist.
