I found your post through ProBlogger's group project and just thought I would stop by to say hello to the top 5 posters for the first day of the contest.

I like the Dali with the clocks...forgot the name. I think his paintings are a little mind blowing and definitely not for beginners.

Great post! Really made me stop and think about what I can learn across the board form art - lol not sure if that was the goal of the post, but that's what it did for me. I'm always looking for new connections and ways of seeing things, and this was a great exercise in that. Thanks!

One of the things Dali was best known for is his spooky hidden images and optical illusions, kind of like escher. If you take a guided tour of the museum, they will point out some of the hidden faces, most notably the toreador:

and Lincoln

and Voltaire

and shakespeare

I guess I just don't get Dali - there's something about the brush work, how he uses paint that I just find a real turn off.. Sure, I can see why peeps see him as a Genius, but... I don't know, I just can't explain it - maybe Picasso got to me too early..

Some Dali is surrealistically realistic, it's not all dripping clocks:

... or stunningly 3D

He was a spatial genius. A little narcissistic maybe, but still a genius.

TOTALLY love Magritte. glad you mentioned him Al. My fav is the Time painting with the train coming out of the fireplace. I love how exact everything sesms to be.

I don't like the dripping clock stuff of Dali so much either. It's just overdone. The depth and some of his more detailed work is what first got me. Thanks for sharing those links man.

I've always loved Magritte - not everyone's cup of tea, but I never much cared for Dali and his dripping clocks and whatnot - Not too sure why - I think I just disliked the lack of accuracy in it. Magritte was different, wonderfully accurate, just put things together in a surreal manner and did some cool things with light that make you go.. "that's cool, but what's the poin........ OH YEAH.."

The one thing I do love that Dali did is the Lobster Telephone.. I saw it on a school trip (too long ago) and stood there, looking at it, on a pedestal.. thinking "that's a telephone.. with a lobster on it... a telephone.. with a lobster... cool"

Cool post!
I was always inspired by Escher he is the master of thinking outside the box, seeing things most people never thought about. He is also a master of making 3D sketches.
I especially like this one:

: ) - one of the things that inspired this post. didn't get to go there on my first trip to barcelona, just went around looking at the incredible Gaudi creations. I saw one painting of his when Maggie and I were overseas and stared at it for about half an hour. awesome. you've got me stoked to go to the Dali museum in Tampa now!

Of course Cadaques, his home town, isn't far from Barcelona either...

When you're down for SWWorld you need to go to the Dali museum in Tampa. It's only a short drive from Orlando. You'll be blown away when you see the actual scale and the real spooky 3D nature even of his flat paintings. Dali is wacked, 'Smack. Almost as wacked as Picasso, but surrealism is so much more fun, and Dali was massively 3D even on canvas.
