I like him. I think he's more like Hawkwind.

More like the Fifth Dimension.

Love him because his work is what the inside of my mind looks like.

For 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:

Emotionally, I am kind of indifferent (I'm an abstract expressionist girl), but intellectually, I know he's remarkable.

If we really want to talk about shitty, overrated artists, we can discuss Matisse or Monet.

I don't think I'm art-smart enough to not like any of those guys.

I grew up in that shitty part of Florida just across the bay and the old Dali museum was a regular stop for me, loved it. 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.
