Dali, need I say more?



My mind is racing after looking at Salvador Dali's work.
I could not get home, fast enough to look on Google, for some information about this man.
My hubby kindly took his audio tour guide,out of his ears, every other second, because I had questions!!! I had revelations, about each painting and work of art.
" Bill, he has issues with his mother, or maybe breasts or mothers milk!!!" "Oh my God, he is a tormented Catholic, look at all the Madonna and Child references!!" " Bill, look, he likes to infuse Geometry and Physics, into his art, this must make you happy, Science and Art together!!!" (Note-Dr. Baron is an Organic Chemist!!! who takes me to art museums, to keep me happy)
I was very surprised that Dali was so talented, I don't know why? I think of him, as coloring so far out, that I would not connect with his art. So wrong, and thrilled was I, to be wrong.
I knew he did not have children, his art told me. My research confirmed this, but then I had to think back to why I thought this? No answer came to me, his mind was reeling, he never had time for children. Other artists had kids, but not Dali, he had mother issues, or maybe father issues?? He painted rhinoceros horns for Christs sake!!!!
He was married to one lady love, and from all accounts they had a wonderful life. She was his muse, and is painted often. His father never spoke to him again because of this woman. Family dynamics, now that is surreal, and will make you a surrealist for sure!!!
What a joy to see masterpieces of art, I feel so lucky.
I asked Bill what his favorite one was, and it was one that had something to do with atoms swirling all around????? We are not even on the same page!!!! I loved a simple one of the back of a girls head, and a red splotchy Madonna and child, and a shadow of the back of Jesus's arm on the cross!!!! Dali is twisting his moustache somewhere, pleased with himself. Dali, need I say more?
