I'm
not sure whether you will like today's artist – Salvador Dali – I'm not even sure I do!
The
pic above is The Persistence of Memory
Dali
was a Surrealist – which means he painted unreal things as if they were real. He called them "hand-painted dream
photographs". He sure had funny
dreams then! As in funny peculiar not
funny haha.
I
do like this painting – Seated Girl Seen
From the Rear. He was only 21 when
he painted it and it is a portrait of his sister.
Dali
was Spanish. He was born in 1904 and
died in 1989.
It
is a shame that his works turned to the completely bizarre later in life.
Such a talent! I'm like you - I enjoy some of his works.
ReplyDeleteI really can't say if I like the first or not - it's so famous it's one of those paintings that I've known of for so long... I suppose I like the idea and symbolism but I'm not sure about the painting itself. The last requires the word you used, bizarre!
