Family of Marsupial Centaurs (1940) depicts the moment at which babies are being expelled from the pouches of marsupial centaurs, half-human and half-horse creatures from Greek mythology. This work aptly shows some of the characteristics of Salvador Dali's Surrealist art. Dali found a solution to the obsessions and sexual fantasies that had troubled him since his childhood through psychoanalytic theory. He was deeply submerged in the psychoanalytic theory that human beings suffer from mental anguish for the first time the moment they are detached from their mother's womb. Accordingly, he was envious of the centaurs who were believed to possess marsupia, a form of external wombs, into which they could return whenever they wished. Highly realistic depictions of bizarre scenes from dreams, the unconscious mind, or deliriums are characteristic of Dali's oeuvre.

The wall-mounted sundial at 27 Rue Saint-Jacques was designed by famed Salvador Dalí. The sculpture takes the form of a human face--said to be a fusion of a scallop shell (a traditional symbol of pilgrimage on the Way of St. James) and the artist’s signature melting-clock motif. Painted in blue and gold, the sundial features sun rays emanating from the eye and a nose that casts the shadow to mark the time. Dalí gifted the work to the city, and it was installed on the side of a building without much fanfare. Though not especially accurate as a timekeeping device, the sundial, the unexpected, slightly hidden nature of a work by the famed Spanish surrealist make it a beloved Latin Quarter icon.

The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1952–54) by Salvador Dalí revisits his earlier masterpiece, The Persistence of Memory (1931), placing melting watches in a fragmented, post-war atomic-age landscape. The scene incorporates an elaborate grid of bricks and missile-like rhino horns, symbols of nature’s perfect order. Dalí’s work reflects on the impermanence of time and the era’s nuclear anxieties, blending surrealist dreamscapes with modern concerns.
Dalí: Disruption and Devotion, an exhibit on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from July 6 to December 1, 2024, juxtaposes nearly 30 paintings and prints on loan from the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, with European masterpieces from the MFA’s collection.
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and relocated to its current neoclassical building designed by architect Guy Lowell at 465 Huntington Avenue in 1909. The museum's vast collection spans over 500,000 works of art, with highlights including ancient Egyptian artifacts, 18th- and 19th-century American art, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, and a renowned collection of Asian art. Originally located in a Gothic Revival building in Copley Square, much of the museum’s early collection came from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Over the years, the museum expanded significantly, adding the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968, the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997, and a modern Americas Wing in the mid-2000s designed by Foster and Partners.
This edition of Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote (1957) features 12 color lithographs by Salvador Dalí, published in Paris by Joseph Foret. Dalí, inspired by the madcap adventures and poignant absurdity of Cervantes’ titular character, approached the project with his signature Surrealist touch. He described Don Quixote as “the most fetishist on earth,” creating images that reflect the quixotic, exaggerated nature of the story. Each lithograph, according to Dalí, was infused with “exacerbated quixoticism.” As part of the livres d’artistes (artist book) genre, this project allowed Dalí to combine his love of literature with experimental illustration techniques. This was his first foray into lithography, showcasing his versatility and ambition in adapting new mediums to his artistic expression.
