Portrait of Joella is a pictorial intervention of Salvador Dalí on a portrait of the gallerist´s wife, Joella Bayer in 1933. It is a work in full development of his paranoiac-critical method, a proposal to allow associations of images with their hidden meanings, often related to sexuality and death.
The aim of the project is to perform the most exhaustive study to date on the state of conservation of Picasso's Guernica. This painting is an iconic piece in the Museum's collection and it warrants every possible conservation effort by the Museum.
