Description:
|
|
The 1930s saw a new addition to Dalí’s themes relating to Surrealism, this time the historic figure of Adolf Hitler, who the artist identified with Maldoror, inspiring works like The Enigma of Hitler, from 1939. For the Surrealists, who had never been comfortable with the brazen way in which Salvador Dalí exhibited his sexual obsessions in public, Dalí’s representation of Hitler was beyond the pale, and it was decided to expel him from the group led by André Breton. So Dalí left Europe to settle in the United States. (Source: Museo Reina Sofia [website]; https://www.museorei nasofia.es/en/)
