Works from private European collections will also be shown.

The exhibition will provide an opportunity to trace the entire long career of Salvador Dali, to explore all stages of his development as an artist. The exhibition will feature paintings, from the youthful impressionistic landscapes of the 1910s to the last abstract canvases of the 1980s. Of particular importance is, of course, the mature works of Dali, his surreal and nuclear-mystical periods. They are represented at the exhibition by the most famous works - “The Invisible Man” (1929–32), “Sense of Speed” (1931), “Architectural Angelus Millet” (1933), “Landscape with Mysterious Elements” (1934), “Soft Self-Portrait with fried bacon "(1941)," Uranium-atomic melancholic idyll "(1945)," Dematerialization under the nose of Nero "(1947)," Maximum speed of the Raphael Madonna "(1954) and other masterpieces that reveal Dali's unique authorial style and brought him world glory.



In addition, lectures and film screenings will be held as part of the exhibition. "Our most visited exhibition was Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera for 400 thousand visitors, and we plan to repeat our success," said Alexander Kibovsky, head of the Moscow City Department of Culture. He also emphasized that the organizers should not set new records, since each exhibition is a thoughtful, serious project that requires preparation, not a conveyor.
