Was? Hmm.
Slate’s awesome Today’s Pictures recently did a gallery of Dali pictures. Dali Atomicus, above, is my favourite of the ones in the gallery — absolutely striking. This is the sort of art I can appreciate: no blather about the artist’s background or influences, just switch off your brain and look.
Everyone visiting London should plan to spend an hour or so at the Dali Universe. It’s on the South Bank just across from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament (and just along the bank from the Eye), so it’s right where it needs to be for tourists to take advantage. Some of his work is just stunning; my favourite is the sculpture of Alice in Wonderland. (I’m not attaching a picture because the ones online do absolutely no justice to the actual thing.)
One more reason to visit Spain. Or St. Petersburg, Florida, I guess :)
