Hi Diane,

Please don't delete the video, I so enjoyed it. One of the funniest I have ever watched.

As Myrna said, Dali was not only a mystery man, he also had a great sense of humor.

Thanks for showing up and posting and also for the link to Dali's biography. I have just started to read it.

Hi Mike,

Thanks so much for coming by and contributing interesting info on Dali; unfortunately neither video works, at least not in my country, and so the mystery continues, at least
for me. :)

Hugs,

Miguel

"person at the window" is a great painting..love it! ;-)

Dear Christina,

Thanks for visiting and posting at this forum. You are right, "Person at the Window" is a great painting. It was love at first sight for me and others too, here. :))

As to Dali's "
Love is Sweeter than Honey": you are right, it is one of his most obscure works. Roger here read somewhere (maybe here) that it illustrates the relationship Dali had with Pepin Bello and Federico Garcia Lorca at a students residence. On my part, I have renounced to understand what its many elements may mean or symbolize. Roger says Dali may have wanted to shock or make people guess and I, with many people, believe it too.

However, other Dali works, particularly his religious paintings, abound in symbols that are more or less recognizable. I guess
the extent you can penetrate their hidden meaning will depend on how deep you are into Dali's fabulous, personal world.

Thanks again,

Miguel

Wow Alain, I was so glad and excited to read your post. You have made me feel that keeping this forum alive and active is absolutely worth the while. Not that I don't enjoy the task of course, it becomes a delight at special moments; for as I was recently telling Mike, it is actually I who enjoy the most from it. But your post, and especially the selection of works that you have made - all special favorites for me too - have multiplied that special feeling a centerfold.

A million thanks,

Miguel

Hello Miguel!

This is an awesome thread full of amazing information. It seems to me that you outdid yourself this time... this is really outstanding work.

And, though I am not much of an artist myself and do not have much knowledge about it either, I must say that even though most of his work is very weird indeed, there are some extraordinary pieces that I love very much. And, here are some of them...

Salvador Dali - Las Meninas (The Maids in Waiting) (oil on canvas, 1977)
and

Salvador Dali - Transformation of 'Antiques' Magazine Cover into the Apparition of a Face (1974)
and
Salvador Dali - Equestrian Fantasy - Portrait of Lady Dunn (oil on canvas, 1954)

and

Salvador Dali - Actress Betty Stockfeld Is Metamorphosed into a Nurse
(gouache on the "Pour vous" programme, 1939)

and

Salvador Dali - Mysterious Mouth Appearing in the Back of my Nurse
(gouache on paper, 1941)

And

Salvador Dali - Madame Reese (oil on canvas, circa 1931)

And, I must add that I regret not having been here more often... I will try to be here more often. Again, Congrats for an awesome job My Friend!

Much Blessings,

Alain
