Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
No thumbs up though. I went there years ago while in the shitty part of Florida.matedog wrote: ↑16 Nov 2017, 11:23amFor some reason, one of the two main Dali museums in the world is in the shitty part of Florida (which is 99% of Florida) where my aunt and uncle live. It's a nice visit, so I'm cool with Dali. Plus he partially inspired the best Pixies song.
Oh, here's a photo of me outside of said museum:

The new building really does the collection justice.matedog wrote: ↑16 Nov 2017, 11:23amFor some reason, one of the two main Dali museums in the world is in the shitty part of Florida (which is 99% of Florida) where my aunt and uncle live.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I thought this was going to be a discussion on a Strummer-Jones song/ Ellen Foley album track?!

No reason it can't, but I still want to talk about hating Matisse with somebody...

Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
I just did an image search on Matisse. Yeah, yuck. Not impressed. That's all I got.
Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
I hate how he outlines everything. He should have been an illustrator, except that he's also a shitty at drawing, I'm sure.

Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
From what I saw, yep, shitty at drawing.
Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
A lot of artists that paint shittily are actually pretty good when you get down to raw ability, but they just stick with their "style." I'm not sure what Matisse's actual skill level is—I'd have to see his student work, but I've never been interested enough to find out.Mimi wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017, 2:26pmFrom what I saw, yep, shitty at drawing.

His stuff always reminds me of bad textile design for a five year old.

It's true, we do sound like the "my 8-year-old could do that" brigade, but I like Pollock, who is arguably even less talented.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017, 2:52pmHe's better than anything you guys could do! /matisse fanboy

I didn't like Pollock until I saw one in person.
