Yesterday in Krasnoyarsk Museum Center Exhibition «Francisco Goya/Salvador Dali. Dreams of reason », uniting 160 etchings of the great Spanish artists from the German galleries Bottingerhaus. The works of Francisco Goya and 1799 are accompanied by comments 1803's. Comments on the works of Salvador Dali for the project «Dreams of Reason» produced by German art critic Kurt Ruppert. The first presentation of the exhibition was held in Russia in late 2004 - early 2005 in Moscow in the halls of the Russian Academy of Arts. In 2007-2008, the exhibition was presented in Rostov-on-Don, Stavropol, Volgograd, Krasnodar, Samara and Penza.

famous series of etchings of great Spanish artist Francisco Goya «Kaprichos» was created in 1793-1799 years. She expressed the attitude of the artist to the morals and mores of modern Spain to him. These surreal works fantastically combining the realities of life and grotesque images, an artist born consciousness. The series has become one of the biggest mysteries in the world's artistic heritage and remains the focus of researchers for over 200 years.

Salvador Dali created the series in 1977, being at that time recognized master of surrealism, scandalous genius and a millionaire. In fact, Salvador Dali did not do their «dreams of reason» for the explanation of the famous «Kaprichos», he made them just for the Goya etching has been used as ÜÔÁËÕÀ children's coloring book, deliberately naive bay gray black and white graphics soft pastels - blue, pink and lemon-yellow. «Dreams of Reason» Dali look even surrealism and pop art. It seems that the illustrious Spaniard decided to adopt the experience of Andy Warhol, 1960's «paint» black and white photos of stars or newspaper pictures of car.

Still, Salvador Dali's painting is not confined diligent etchings, but, like a schoolboy shkodlivomu, dorisovyvayuschemu mustache and horns portraits in the book, supplemented «Kaprichos» own brand elements, unobtrusively pririsovav here and there diffluent hours so unusual bone. Sometimes it is dorisovyvanie teen-racy character ...

Sometimes changing a few strokes surrealist space old etchings, outlining the background to your own favorite landscapes, reminiscent of an infinitely long theatrical stage, which is somewhere far away, roam smerchepodobnye typical figure. In the most interesting and innovative options for Dali was able to connect the fragments of several figures in the new phantom character. So once zaumnik Russian Alexei Kruchenykh be deducted in the classical verse-word lapsus, against the will of the author derived from the syllables of two adjacent words.

Still, Salvador Dali did not try to reveal the secret madness Goya etchings, all the more so that they more than enough insanity apparent. «Kaprichos» impossible to make even more surreal than they were by themselves, before the intervention of Dali. In contrast, cultivated an image of Salvador Dali look harmless and better than the originals. Allegorical meaning of grotesque visions Goya now much less heed than shkolyarsky Freudianism Dali. Nightmare «Kaprichos» scare fear nepredstavimogo, unseen and hidden - it seems that the worst of them still unnamed, and hold in the dense black shadows. By 1970 th year of unprecedented fear about not left, all the horrors have been repeatedly zarisovany, filmed, and are described, all the nightmares in ÓÏÎÎÉËÉ carefully recorded and interpreted. Salvador Dali did not leave for etching Goya dark spots, shadows, and he vysvetlil carefully traced all the monsters that are hiding, while the role of psychoanalyst Goya, rationalizes his vizionerstvo. So at first glance, the ambitious project in which one principal Spanish demented genius creates his variation on the theme of the other main Spanish insane genius, turned around, in fact, a charming and non-binding trifle.

The exhibition will run until June 7.
