Art of the Day 

Salvador Dali, Spiderwoman, lithograph

Featured in our traveling exhibition, Dusk to Dusk 

This lithograph by Dali belongs to a series of prints by the Surrealist that illustrate Dante's Divine Comedy. In this print, Dali depicts the ancient Greek myth of Arachne, a mortal woman who wrongly boasted of her weaving skill and was subsequently cursed by Athena and transformed into a spider, forced to weave a web for eternity.

Dali's haunting image portrays wild looking hybrid of a woman-spider, her six long limbs splayed across the picture plane and underscored by lines receding to a central vanishing point, as an ambiguously rendered couple watches her unnerving figure in the background.

Art of the Day

Our current exhibition Dusk to Dusk: Unsettled, Unraveled, Unreal presents artwork from contemporary artists who explore the themes of loneliness, deterioration, and obsolescence in our world today.  In one such piece entitled Landscape III, artist Levi van Veluw answers these concerns by hybridizing himself and creating a self-portrait that is one with both natural and the manmade world.
