Thoughts on Salvador Dalì

[Kory]

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

Search your heart.

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:

No thumbs up though. I went there years ago while in the shitty part of Florida.

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.

They are in St. Pete. You?

I grew up in Tampa, used to go to the old Dali quite often, really great collection, the largest in the world

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

I just did an image search on Matisse. Yeah, yuck. Not impressed. That's all I got.

I hate how he outlines everything. He should have been an illustrator, except that he's also a shitty at drawing, I'm sure.

From what I saw, yep, shitty at drawing.

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.

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.

I didn't like Pollock until I saw one in person. Jesus that was an experience.
