Description

Dalí found that glass and more precisely the pate de verre, offered the perfect medium for the “expression of metamorphosis” that, according to Dalí, is his surrealist perception of reality. The Daum collection allows us to see the genius of Dalí through the translucency of sculptures modeled from colored glass.

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz was a German philosopher, scientist, mathematician, logician, diplomat, lawyer, librarian and philologist.

The letter T is the first of the word and title of his principal work: Theodiceus, meaning doctrine treating God and His righteousness of Theos and Dike.
