Zinggeler’s as we explore the connection between literary fairy tales\, art and the art of Salvador Dalí. \nProfessor Zinggeler will introduce the folk and fairy tales collected by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm\, first published in Germany in 1812 and the stories’ evolution to be eventually included in the UNESCO World Heritage Texts in 2005. Over the brothers’ lifetime seven editions eventually containing 200 tales were published. The tales were translated into over 160 languages. Walt Disney popularized many Grimm fairy tales in the U.S.\, beginning with his films Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Cinderella (1959). Ever since\, Grimms’ fairy tales have influenced every genre of literature\, the arts and the entertainment industry. \nA brief discussion on the definition of literary fairy tales—specifically the Grimms’ fairy tales—will lead to a focus on art particularly Dalí’s art. Dalí illustrated Japanese fairy tales\, the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen and Lewis Carroll as well as many classic novels and biblical stories. But did Dalí know the Grimms’ fairy tales? Exploring a selection of Dalí’s artworks invites a fairy tale interpretation leading to a fantastic conclusion. \nLocation: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater (registration required) or live on YouTube (link below).This event is free with limited capacity.
