Professional Biography
Dr. Elliott H. King is an Assistant Professor of Art History at Washington and Lee University. He is a specialist in modern and contemporary visual culture in Europe and America -- notably French Surrealism of the inter-war and post-war periods -- and an expert in the art of Salvador Dalí.
A Colorado native educated at the University of Essex (Colchester, England) and the Courtauld Institute of Art (London, England), Dr. King has lectured and published widely in addition to serving on the curatorial committees for many of the most significant Dalí exhibitions of the past decade. In 2010, King was Guest Curator of Dalí: The Late Work at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia (catalogue published by Yale University Press, 2010), and he is currently serving as Consulting Curator for the High's forthcoming exhibit, Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics, and Painting, opening at the Art Gallery of Ontario in autumn 2012 and in Atlanta in 2013. Other publications include his 2007 book, Dalí, Surrealism and Cinema (Kamera Books, UK).

In addition to his university teaching, Dr. King regularly lectures on subjects related to Dali and Surrealism (e.g.,Dali's 1950s 'Nuclear Mysticism', Dali and science, Surrealism in film/cinema), as well as serving as a consultant for academic projects, television documentaries, and museum exhibitions.
