 One image may hide another / Untill July 6th Grand Palais
It is a real event, a unique opportunity to take a second look at the works of many artists and discover their unexpected underside. Works from different cultural spheres and periods are now grouped around Dali’s works. Their subjects are as much human figuration, illustrated by Arcimboldo’s Seasons, as landscapes, which go as far as Max Ernst, or architecture, introduced by Escher’s impossible perspectives.
