Once upon a time…
Dalí and the Classics

An exhibition conceived as a narrative: from fear to light, from morality to metamorphosis, from the written word to the image.

Following the success of Dalí Comes to Toulouse, MIX'S ART presents an entirely new exhibition bringing together around one hundred previously unseen works. From Dante to La Fontaine, the exhibition reveals Dalí as a reader, interpreter and provocateur of the classics.

Chapter I

The Divine Comedy

One hundred prints accompany Dante through Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. Dalí does not merely illustrate the text: he reshapes its symbols, fears and visions.

Chapter II

La Fontaine's Fables

Foxes, ravens, stags, monkeys and lions become the actors in a human drama. Through the prints, the familiar morals take on a new voice.

A living experience

Three highlights

The Raven and the Fox

A fable revealed through observation and storytelling.

The secret of a print

Its creation revealed layer by layer.

The 12 symbols

A discovery trail that teaches visitors how to look.

An exhibition narrated by its curator

Here, the works are not simply displayed: their stories are told. Present every day, collector and exhibition curator Mickael Mamou guides visitors through Salvador Dalí's stories, symbols and creative secrets.

Private collection

See Dalí differently

A private collection revealing the full richness of Dalí's work.

Beyond the persona

The many faces of an artist beyond classification

Behind the image of the provocative genius stands a profoundly curious artist, inspired by literature, mythology, science, religion and popular culture.

Assembled over several decades, the MIX'S ART collection invites visitors to explore the many faces of Salvador Dalí. Prints, sculptures, porcelain, books, posters, advertising creations and rare documents bear witness to an imagination that knew no boundaries.

Each work becomes a gateway into his world: his symbols, obsessions, encounters and dialogues with great literary works. More than a group of objects, this collection traces the journey of an artist who transformed every medium into a field of experimentation.

To see Dalí differently is to look beyond the persona and rediscover the artist — erudite, inventive, impossible to classify and resolutely modern.

Selected works

Books & documents

Dalí never merely illustrated texts: he reread them, transformed them and drew them into his own imagination. From the classics of Dante, Cervantes and Lewis Carroll to art books, fashion and the international press, this selection reveals the diversity of his dialogue with publishing and the media.

The Divine Comedy

Dante illustrated by Salvador Dalí · Éditions d’Art Les Heures Claires, Paris

Dalí accompanies Dante's journey from Inferno to Paradise through one hundred compositions in which the medieval text meets his own symbols, metamorphoses and vision of humanity.

Complete set in 6 volumes
100 colour wood engravings after watercolours by Salvador Dalí

Les Dîners de Gala

Salvador Dalí · Draeger, Paris · 1973

Part cookbook, part aesthetic manifesto and theatre of excess, this volume celebrates gastronomy as a complete, sensual and unmistakably Dalínian artistic experience.

First French edition
136 recipes in 12 chapters

Vogue

Cover designed by Salvador Dalí · 1 April 1944

Dalí transforms the magazine's name into a Surrealist landscape populated by figures, birds and architecture. Fashion becomes the starting point for an entirely imaginary world.

Original American edition
Spring fashion issue

Der Spiegel — Salvador Dalí

New Year issue · No. 1 · 1961

Submerged up to his shoulders, wearing a red cap and holding a curved staff, Dalí appears as the hero of his own legend. This cover reflects his international media prominence.

Original German weeklyA portrait of the artist who had himself become a media artwork.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll illustrated by Salvador Dalí · 1969

In the meeting of two imaginations shaped by dreams, metamorphosis and the absurd, Dalí transforms Wonderland into a world where infinite landscapes, silhouettes and playing cards converse.

Maecenas Press–Random House, New York
12 colour heliogravures and one original etching

Selected Pages from Don Quixote

Miguel de Cervantes illustrated by Salvador Dalí · 1957

Through line, splashes of ink and the intervention of chance, Dalí conveys the visionary madness, idealism and profound solitude of Cervantes's hero.

Éditions Joseph Foret, Paris · 12 original lithographsImage shown: Overwhelmed Don Quixote.

Private collection · Dalí and the classics

Great texts reimagined

From Dante to La Fontaine, Salvador Dalí does not simply illustrate the classics: he enters them, disrupts them and draws them into his own imagination.

← Back to the collection
A literary journey in six visions

Dalí, reader and interpreter

This selection highlights Dalí's fertile dialogue with major works of literature and thought. Each image reveals not so much the published object as the freedom with which the artist transforms a text into a vision: sin in Dante, idealism in Cervantes, rebellion in Lautréamont, dreams in Lewis Carroll, doubt in Montaigne and morality in La Fontaine.

A Logical Devil

The Divine Comedy · Inferno, Canto XXVII · c. 1960–1963

The demon claims Guido da Montefeltro's soul through an implacable argument: one cannot absolve a man who has not yet repented of the sin he intends to commit. Dalí gives this infernal logic a monstrous body, while Dante and Virgil appear tiny at the foot of the scene.

Éditions d’Art Les Heures Claires, Paris

L’Aurore

Selected Pages from Don Quixote · 1957

In an explosion of blue, red and light, Dalí evokes Don Quixote's visionary impulse. The horse's silhouette and bursts of colour summon an unstable world suspended between reality and the imagination of Cervantes's hero.

Original colour lithograph
Éditions Joseph Foret, Paris

L’Angélus anthropomorphique et les glaneuses de Millet accompagnés de 1814 de Meissonier

Les Chants de Maldoror · 1934

Dalí brings Millet's rural world together with a military scene inspired by Meissonier. Familiar figures become skeletal and threatening: desire, death, religion and violence meet in a vision fundamental to his Surrealist imagination.

Original etching
Albert Skira, Paris

Alice Skipping Rope

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland · 1969

Dalí turns Alice into a weightless silhouette, forever caught in the movement of a skipping rope. Between figure and shadow, childhood and metamorphosis, she becomes the guiding thread through a world in which all points of reference slip away.

Original colour print — Frontispiece
Maecenas Press–Random House, New York

Homage to France — The Power of Imagination

The Essays of Michel de Montaigne · 1947

Dalí depicts Montaigne before his château, the place of his birth, reflection and writing of the Essays. Between historical portrait and Surrealist vision, he pays tribute to the thinker who placed personal experience, doubt and freedom of thought at the heart of his work.

Doubleday & Company, New York

The Raven and the Fox

La Fontaine's Fables · 1974

Dalí reinvents the famous encounter in a light and enigmatic composition. Moving away from literal illustration, he transforms the two animals into fantastic creatures without losing La Fontaine's timeless lesson: vanity is easily seduced by flattery.

MIX'S ART

A collection, exhibitions, books and an enduring passion for sharing Salvador Dalí's work.

Mickael Mamou
Collector, author and exhibition curator
A collector's perspective

Collect, narrate, share

For several decades, Mickael Mamou has developed a personal dialogue with Salvador Dalí's work. A passion that became a collection, then a genuine cultural project led by MIX'S ART.

Over the years, the collection has grown to include graphic works, sculptures, porcelain, illustrated books, advertising creations and rare documents. Yet assembling these pieces is never an end in itself: each becomes the starting point for a story, a connection or a new way of approaching the artist.

Through his exhibitions, Mickael Mamou creates experiences that are both accessible and demanding, reaching beyond the familiar image of the Surrealist painter. He reveals Dalí as a reader of great literature, an insatiable creator, a showman and a bridge between disciplines.

Working closely with visitors, he favours a lively approach based on storytelling, observation and emotion. His books continue this commitment to making Dalí's world understandable without ever diminishing its richness.

MIX'S ART was born from this conviction: a work of art reaches its full dimension when it is seen, narrated and shared.

Coherent groups of works patiently assembled over several decades.

Curating

Dalí, the art of seduction

Posters, objects and advertising creations reveal Dalí's engagement with every visual language of his time.

Selected works

Advertising & design

Posters, objects, fashion, perfumes and advertising creations reveal Dalí's engagement with every visual language of his time. Far from regarding commercial commissions as a lesser art, he transformed each medium into a territory of invention. Under his gaze, a bottle, a bag or an advertisement became an instantly recognisable object at the meeting point of art, desire and communication.

Sacs Daligram

Bowling bag and shoulder bag · Maison Lancel · 1971

Created around 1970 as a private alphabet dedicated to Gala, the Daligram combines the couple's initials with royal and symbolic signs. Applied to these bags in 1971, this intimate language became an instantly recognisable luxury motif.

The celebrated Rosso Antico bottles

Bottle illustrated by Salvador Dalí · Italy · 1970s

For Rosso Antico, Salvador Dalí devised three variations on a bottle that became a collector's item. Ranging from sky blue to deep blue and decorated with floral and Surrealist motifs, these creations transformed commercial packaging into genuine design objects.

Screen-printed opaline glassThe MIX'S ART collection holds all three variants in the series.

Paris — French Railways

Tourism poster for SNCF · 1969

To evoke the French capital, Dalí brings together the Eiffel Tower, his own profile and a flight of butterflies. Between portrait, metamorphosis and invitation to travel, the advertising poster becomes an instantly recognisable work.

Draeger printers, Paris · Original poster on paper

Hosiery by Bryans

Advertisement for Bryans hosiery · 1 September 1944

Salvador Dalí creates a Surrealist world in which women's legs emerge from a setting filled with swirling forms and imaginary architecture. The product appears almost discreetly: rather than simply illustrating it, the artist integrates it into an enigmatic vision in which advertising becomes graphic art.

Printed advertising illustrationThe MIX'S ART collection holds the complete set of sixteen advertisements created for Bryans Hosiery.

Original work by Salvador Dalí

French postage stamp · Drawing from 1978 · Issued in 1979

Dalí transforms the stamp into a Surrealist miniature. A fragmented face, calligraphic signs and bold colours create a dense image designed to circulate in millions of copies. The artwork leaves the museum, enters everyday life and travels from letter to letter.

Salvador Dalí — Perfumes

Advertising poster and original bottles · 1983

For his first perfume, Salvador Dalí designed a bottle inspired by Aphrodite's lips and nose. Enlarged on the poster, these sensual forms become a genuine Surrealist sculpture. The ensemble reveals his ability to transform a luxury product into a work of art at the meeting point of painting, design and desire.
