Morohashi Museum of Modern Art will present a Dali/Halsman
exhibition, the third of its 20th anniversary celebration exhibitions, from April 25 to September 6, 2020. Bringing down thecurtain on the 20th anniversary celebrations that started in
2019, this will be the first exhibition of photographs at themuseum and the first to borrow artworks from overseas.
The famous photograph of Dalí on the top-left was taken by
Philippe Halsman （1906-1979）. For many years his portrait
photographs appeared on the front cover of magazines aroundthe world, including a record 101 covers of the American magazine LIFE. In his Jump series, he captured the essence of politicians, writers, scientists, and stars of the day, such as Marilyn
Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.
In this exhibition, visitors will enjoy photographs taken during
Halsman’s 37-year collaboration with Salvador Dalí (19041989). The photographs by Dalí and Halsman are astoundinglyinnovative, created decades before the advent of image manipulation with computers.
