Comprising more than 130 works by Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí, Painting and Film explores the artist's passionate relationship with cinema. For Dalí, film not only served as an artistic outlet, but also as inspiration. Among the treasures here are his provocative collaborations with filmmakers like Luis Buñuel (Un Chien Andalou, 1929), as well as a selection of his subtly affecting drawings. Accompanying the drafts and films are some of Dalí's most influential paintings, including The First Days of Spring and Illumined Pleasures, which capture the artist's bleak outlook before the onset of the Spanish Civil War, with grotesque figures filling barren landscapes.
