I have a new favorite Salvador Dali painting!!!

[LynneSin]

I love his stuff! I was in Tampa this weekend visiting DUer Ramsey. On Saturday we decided to go to the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg, FL.

This is probably my new favorite by Dali:



I'll let you guess what who is the face in the portrait.

[Callalily]

1. "Gala Contemplating

the Mediterranean Sea Which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln - Homage to Rothko- Lincoln in Dalivision - (First version)"

[LynneSin]

2. I didn't want to give out the name cause people would be able

to figure it out that it was Abe Lincoln

3. He was amazing.

My favorite of his was "Dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate a moment before awakening".

I live in FL, and have been to that museum about 3 times. His books are wild, as well.

4. This probably was my favorite, still tops in my book

Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War)

It's home is at the Philadelphia Musuem

16. I think the ridiculous, yet uncanny name is really what gets me.

:D

5. My favorite

"Discovery of America by Columbus"

[LynneSin]

7. That one is in St. Petersburg - massive in size

The docent had a nice little explanation about the history of the painting

10. his works are so much more impressive in person

I visited the museum about 15 years ago, and the one that really stuck out in my mind (besides the Columbus), was a painting of a blue vase. It was just so intensely blue, a color you just could never find in nature, and could never hope to reproduce in a picture or print.

6. I'm not a big Dali fan. But here is one painting by him

that fascinates me.

8. I have this print hanging on my living room

When my buddy was in California back in the early 80's, he had a chance to buy a set of 4 original Dali paintings for $800. He didn't and is still kicking himself.

9. It's a great museum. We loved it !

Stopped by whilst spending the week at Phillies Spring Training in March. Glad you enjoyed it.

11. You go to Spring Training you'll have to get in touch with Ramsey

She's there in Tampa and I'm sure she'd love for you to stop by. I'm probably going down to spring training for the Reds this year

[GalleryGod]

12. I'll definitely try to stop-by to see her.

:hi:

[LynneSin]

14. You'll love the place - she's got a nice setup

Although the setup would be much nicer if she was back in Philly.

Oh well, ought to start planning my next trip to Tampa :D
