Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
I've wondered if I'd have that experience. I look at Pollock and intellectualize it, so to speak, and so I shrug my shoulders. So I wonder if it's more of a visceral experience that demand proximity and a sense of scale and texture.Wolter wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017, 6:20pmI didn't like Pollock until I saw one in person.

Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
To see a room filled with giant Jackson Pollocks is something amazing to behold. IN NYC at MOMA they have several in their collection and it is something truly to behold. https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/226
Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
Yeah, I've seen one at Seattle Art Museum (kinda normal sized) and one at the Met in NY (which is huge).

Re: Thoughts on Salvador Dalì
That is a cool one. I'm not sure I've seen it before—it's definitely a little more structured looking than the ones I've seen in person at least.
