MADRID, SPAIN.- It is a about a luminous and painful love story. It all began in 1903 when the German writer Jensen published "Gradiva. A Pompeian Fantasy ", which caused a startling attraction among the surrealist painters, among them Dalí, who used it like a mythological muse for some of his paintings. Four years later, Freud talks about psychoanalysis for the first time in a literary work entitled: "The delirium and the dreams in the Gradiva of W. Jensen". Now, a new exhibition called "Dalí: Gradiva" around the painting "Gradiva discovers the anthropomorphic ruins (Retrospective Fantasy)", which forms part of the permanent collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum, has been opened to the public until September 8. The sample includes twelve works among paintings and drawings. With this exhibition a new phase in the series "Contexts of the Permanent Collection" has been initiated in the lower floor of the museum.
