More Dali

Portrait of Picasso...the likeness is remarkable











"Soft" self-portrait









1947 was a good year for the Dalis, and for me











The very, very famous portrait of Abraham
Lincoln; enlarge, then stand up and start
walking back away from the screen...













Creation







I love this shot; most photo-editors will sense when
something needs to be rotated...but not necessarily in the
case of Dali; this is the inner courtyard, and there is so
much going on in it I hesitate to offer a description;
nonetheless, there is the 1947 Cadillac convertible, with
mannequins; the hood ornament is a very full-figured
lady; towering over it all, atop the Michelin stack, is a boat,
hanging from which are a hundred or so condoms filled
with blue paint...oh, had I rotated it, I would have lost the
Cadillac and the boat...

















Gala, Dali's life-long muse, soul-mate,
business manager, wife












Original Sin







The very, very, very famous Mae West installation...well,
a copy; the original is in a MOMA, Chicago or NY, I can't
remember













Venus de M, with drawers











Closer-up of the boat above the courtyard
