Continuing our visit to St. Pete's Dali museum...
 |
Retrospective Bust of a Woman, 1969; another copy
of the one we saw at MoMA last fall; the original dates
from 1933; Dali apparently thought the American
expression "bust" was hilarious; also "drawers," on which
he did many a visual pun |
 |
Unusual dorsal view, etc.; note reference to Millett's
Angelus... |
 |
Archaeological Reminiscence of Millett's "Angelus," 1934; classic
Surrealist Dali, all kinds of allusions, reverence for Millett... |
 |
Telephone in a Dish with Three Grilled Sardines at the End of September,
1939 |
 |
| The Average Bureaucrat, 1930 |
 |
| Profanation of the Host, 1929 |
 |
The Font, 1930; all kinds of Surrealist-shock stuff
going on here |
 |
| Girl with Curls, 1926 |
 |
| Portrait of my Sister, 1923 |
 |
| View of Portdogue, 1918-19; Cubist, no? |
 |
View of Cadaques from Playa Poal, 1920; finding his voice...it
would be a few more years... |
 |
| Self-Portrait, 1921 |
 |
| Portdogue, again, 1923 |
 |
Homage to Crick and Watson, 1963 (omitting the longer title);
now into his "scientific" period |
 |
| A few specimens of his jewelry...Persistence of Memory, 1949 |
 |
Tristan and Isolde, 1963; as we saw at the castle in
Pubol, Dali was a bit of a Wagner fan |
 |
| Saint Helena of Port Lligat, 1956; he never tired of painting Gala |
 |
| The Broken Bridge and the Dream, 1945 |
 |
Slave Market with Disappearing Bust of Voltaire, 1940; another
double-image deal, emphasizing the irrationalist view of things...
a good place to end; and exit through the gift shoppe |
