Salvador Dali

Ok, some may be freaked out by my avatar... but he is a brilliant artist Dali.

Do a google search on him, and see what he has done. I'm curious to see what others think of his work.

I very much appreciate his work as it takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary. I am thinking that he is a contemporary of Picasso, and many things of their works bear some similarities. The avatar of the OP is a classic example of Dali taking a seemingly innocuous thing like the face of the average man and turning it into a striking object that immediately captures you attention through the dramatic gestures and background.

Eck.... Sorry but I really hate Dali. His art is ok but he was such a phony

salvador is pretty unique, i did a response in art to one of his pics "living still life"

it came out pretty cool and that pic of his was amazing

Dali, is one of the few artists that ever used to inspire me to draw when I first started getting serious about it years ago...lovelovelove his stuff, I also love Dave McKean.

I love his work. I believe he has a large collection in the Louvre. Absolutely fabulous work.

ha

i have a original signed sketch from dali

Seth · 02-05-2008, 02:35 PM

You might want to scan that on. I'm one hundred thousand percent sure thats a copy.

I love the way you (Matt Rools You) Think you are more knowledgeable than anyone else on him/his work.

It's the way you wrote the post see.

I wish I was as naive as you.

because naive = happy.

Why would I be freaked out by an avatar. Salvador Dali aimed to add some thought to his paintings, he didn't make his pictures blatantly obvious with emotion. You have to think about his paintings in order to understand them. A floating shell doesn't shout, SHOCK HORROR.
