On the occasion of the exhibition “Materia abscondit,” a journey into the feminine revealed through the work of two interesting contemporary artists, the cultural blog The Meltin Pop – in collaboration with the Studio Rossetti Art Gallery and L’Amico Ritrovato bookstore in Genoa – presents the event “MATERIA ABSCONDIT, MULIER REVELAT” to celebrate the one who was the true muse of surrealism, Gala Éluard Dali.
Helena Devulina Diakonoff, known as Gala Éluard Dali, was a model, artist, art dealer, wife of the poet Éluard, lover of Max Ernst, and later Dali’s wife and muse. Gala is the ‘female’ representation of the art world of the first half of the 20th century. In her brilliance and ability to reveal the talents of the men to whom she dedicated herself, Gala Éluard Dali was recounted by the pen of journalist and writer Anna Di Cagno, who chronicled her life in the fictionalized biography “Gala Éluard Dali. Per interposti uomini” published by Morellini Editore.
