Dalí’s Dialogues
April 20 – May 18, 2024
The Maribeth Collins Lobby
Salvador Dalí (Spanish, 1904-1989), The Golden Age, 957, lithograph, collection of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University, Salem, OR, gift of Timothy Beals, 2014.008.003.005.
In Dalí’s Dialogues, senior art history major Matthew Mahoney explores works drawn from several of Salvador Dalí’s portfolios that are part of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art’s permanent collection. The exhibition includes six works drawn from Dalí’s Les Caprices, Le Tricorne, and Don Quichotte, as well as two works by Francisco de Goya y Luceintes.
Mahoney says, “These portfolios are so rich, and there are so many different things to discuss. I hope my work on these portfolios will stimulate and help other curators come up with exhibitions and ways of discussing Dalí’ in the museum.”
Financial support for Dalí’s Dialogues exhibition and Mahoney’s larger independent research project were made possible through the Willamette University Presidential Scholarship.
