A Surreal Marriage: Dalí’s Paintings and Film
Dalí: Painting and Film, MoMA’s newest exhibition, examines how Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí’s relationship with film and cinema affected his art. In the first exhibition of its kind, over 130 of Dalí’s paintings, drawings, and letters are on display showing how cinema was, in his early years, an inspiration that evolved into an outlet outlet for the artist.
The exhibition is in conjunction with a selection of weekly film programs featuring Salvador Dalí: Creator Collaborator, Dalí Laughs, Salvador Dalí and Three American Surrealists, and Salvador Dalí: Consumer/Consumed. Other works, 
such as the 1930 film by Luis Buñuel and Dalí, “L’Age d’Or,” is on continuous display in the gallery.
