“The Persistence of Memory” (1931), will return to MoMA as part of an event featuring the art of Salvador Dali (1904 – 1989) as both painter and filmmaker – especially with Spanish director Luis Bunuel , (1900 – 1983).
Dali’s paintings, drawings, movie scripts will all be used to prove the strong connection and influence that film played in his work.
BTW: The museum catalog cover is the famous “razor in eyeball” scene from Un Chien Andalou , 1929 – one of several Dali/Bunuel surrealist film collaborations.
