As in surrealist cinema, then very innovative and whose most famous example, the “Andalusian Dog” directed by Buñuel in 1929, with the famous scene of the eyeball being sliced off by a razor, is visible in the exhibition, the dimension movement is essential here too. Dali had also participated in the sce- nario of this film, which had earned him the interest of André Breton.
A rare fact, surrealism appears here as an artistic movement seeking, through the collaboration of two of its eminent representatives, large-scale forms and open spaces.
The exhibition at the Kunsthaus shows an important set of surrealist objects by Giacometti corresponding to this definition alongside a subtle selection of pain- tings by Dali, which allows us to rediscover the phantasmagorical visual universe which made the painter famous.
A unique dive into the creative universe of Parisian surrealism in the early 1930s.
