The museum in StPetersburg changes exposition every 6 months,
yet again I was able to see some paitings I haven't seen before...

Mike, Katie, I am glad you now KNOW what to give me for my birthday
;-))))

Serge, I am glad you helped expand my horizons....

The museum was great. When my parents get into town in a few weeks I plan on taking them!

I envy them already!
and the best part...6 months from now another new exhibit will be there!

take it as my pay back for your expanding mine with Egyptian customs and Death rituals.

I went to the Dali Museum about a year ago. It is certainly interesting!
The guy was a nut job though...

I'd like to go back some day

Not a nutjob, an "artist"!

:lol:

Serge - I am really getting into art. I am thinking about taking some art-history classes. And maybe some drawing/painting lesssons.

Have you seen this work - Artist Bosch Hieronymus (Garden of earthly delight) - I would think that Dali was influenced by him. Not a great picture of it but you get the idea - http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/delight/

Wow that painting is overhwelming!

That painting is actually in 3 pieces - left right and center. I really like the right side.


here are some more of his not so famous pieces.

pretty amazing considering he was 1450 - 1520 ish... about 400 years before Dali

nut job???

Sharky, it takes _slightly_ more to understand him than football
;-)))

I know him and he is one of my favorit Dutches...

The original is in Dresden, in a very small museum...

I only saw it in the album,
but...what a vission/fantasy!

Dali wasn't influenced by him, though, but rather by Picasso, Matisse and Cezanne, especially in early days before he becane Bona Fide D A L I

nope, we are talking about the one in St Petersburg, Florida, USA

The woman I live with a big dali fan. I took her there last month. I admit that I wasn't much of a Dali fan, at first but as I walked through the gallery and read more about his work I was impressed with his transitions and affiliations.

DV, if you take in concideration that Dali was a perve, just like some of us, it makes understanding his work MUCH easier
;-)))

Hey, I still have my connection available for getting you a superb deal on a Dali. I already set up one lucky webmaster with the Dali he has wanted for years. You could be next. :bdance:

Dali I can afford I am not interested in
