What's your favoritte DalÃ-painting? I love "Mae West". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the persistence of memory |

Salvador Dali is made of crack. I do not know what the name is of this particular piece, but it has these elephants with really, really long limbs and it looks frightening, almost. Maybe someone else would know what I am talking about? |

He had several paintings depicting the long-legged elephants.. Offhand I can think of two : 'The Elephants', which simply has two of the creatures on opposite sides of the painting facing each other, and 'The Temptation of St.Anthony', which has a long procession of the stilt-limbed beasts lead by a giant horse. 'The Sublime Moment' is my favorite work of his. More of a fundamental truth than a painting really.. |

Any other favorite surrealists? I'm partial to Desmond Morris, Joan Miro, and Max Ernst - particularly his "Europe After the Rain" painting. |

the masturbation painting and "Dream Caused by a Bee Flight " and all the other frued inspired paintings he did are great . but i rather go for Bosch and Böcklin when it comes to surrealism,even if they werent part of the that dali,bretton movement,"calm sea" by Böcklin is a favorite |

the one with his mother giant and nude! |

I like the one with all the melting shapes and piece of bread and the bee and if you blur your eyes you can see it all looks like a lady but all the while it's a scene from the bible but in geometric figures and the name he named it is like this really literal discription of what it is. |

I am very fond of Max Ernst's work. I had prepared a gallery of some of my favorites here a few years ago www.angelfire.com/ny2/cwood. Does anyone else follow Romare Bearden? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Temptation of St. Anthony. I mostly like El Greco though... Toledo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Magritte is also cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he has a really funny quote, "I don't do drugs. I am drugs." |
||||||||

My favorite Dali piece is "The Metamorphis of Narcosis". I had a poster of it when I was a kid and when I saw the original I was amazed at the size of it. My poster was at least twice the size and it still had increadable detail. Dali isn't my favorite surrealist, you should check out Merrit Oppenhiem she is fantastic. |
