Some answers arrive through the Dal\u00ed-Freud exhibition at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/orangery\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3631\">Orangery<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/lower-belvedere\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3384\">Lower Belvedere palace<\/a>, which features dozens of paintings, documents, photos and other Dal\u00ed-related items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition highlights, for example, Dal\u00ed&#8217;s family background and his encounters with great thinkers and creators like his close friend, the poet Federico Garcia Lorca (who has his own special <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/songsfilms\/leonardcohen\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"209\">Viennese connection<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or Santiago Ram\u00f3n y Cajal, the medical science pioneer whose work on the nervous system earned a Nobel Prize in 1906, and whose illustrations of nerve structures inspired Dal\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main focus though is the influence of Sigmund Freud and the development of psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dal\u00ed consumed much of Freud&#8217;s writing in the years immediately preceding his move into surrealism: Freudian ideas, symbolism and imagery found their way into many of the works of those in the surrealist movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dal\u00ed himself wrote in the 1950s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In the Surrealist period, I wanted to create the iconography of the interior world and the world of the marvelous, of my father Freud<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition also covers the only meeting between Freud and Dal\u00ed in the summer of 1938, organised by the Austrian writer, Stefan Zweig. Dal\u00ed brought along his <em>Metamorphosis of Narcissus<\/em>, painted the previous year and now part of the Tate art collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Dal\u00ed sold the painting to Edward James, who also had a part in that meeting.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The father of psychoanalysis had a less-than-stellar opinion of surrealists, but it seems he revised his opinion after the encounter. Freud <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/2019\/02\/04\/when-dali-met-freud\/\">wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>That young Spaniard, however, with his candid and fanatical eyes, and his undeniable technical mastery, has made me reconsider my opinion<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For his part, Dal\u00ed made three sketches of Freud and went on to produce a portrait that now greets you at the top of the stairs in the latter&#8217;s former London home (now a Freud Museum and the site of that historical meeting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tickets-and-dates\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore the connections between Dal\u00ed, Freud, surrealism, and psychoanalysis from January 28th to May 29th, 2022. A ticket to Lower Belvedere includes all the exhibitions within the complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another exhibition starting a little later in the main building is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/viva-venezia-art-exhibition\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"40912\">Viva Venezia<\/a>, which looks at the role of art in creating the myth of Venice and explores the association between Austria and the lagoon city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more psychoanalysis, drop into Vienna&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/sigmund-freud\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"986\">Sigmund Freud Museum<\/a>. The permanent exhibition there has numerous themed displays examining various aspects of Freud&#8217;s life. The address on Berggasse is, of course, where Freud and family lived for over 40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-the-exhibition\">How to get to the exhibition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/gettingthere3\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3402\">directions for Belvedere<\/a>.
