Lunchtime Talk by Kirk Nickel featuring the work of Salvador Dalí

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED!
Presented by Kirk Nickel, PhD, Marc and Lillian Rojtman Curator of European Art

Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of Salvador Dalí. Dalí is known for painting logic-defying imagery with meticulous skill, such as his famous melting pocket watches, but Dali’s Surrealism took many forms during his long career. This month’s Art Talk will focus on his Madonna of Port Lligat, painted in 1949 and currently on view in the Haggerty’s anniversary exhibition, The Big 4-0 Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection. Rendered with Dali’s characteristically immaculate brushwork, this stunning portrayal of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child brings Italian Renaissance art into dialogue with the Atomic Age. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty's current exhibitions.

In partnership with Marquette University’s GROW program.
