Exposition Salvador Dalí

A long and beautiful poem by Paul éluard, entitled “Salvador Dalí” serves as a preface to this rare catalogue.
The poem marks éluard's cooling down and renunciation, two years after his split from his wife Gala, whom she left for Dalí. Amongst Dalí's 25 paintings cited in this catalogue, there are some that are well known today: The Persistance of Memory, Six Images of Lenin on a Piano, Agnostic Symbol.
