Dali at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
I just got back from seeing the Salvador Dali exhibition, the biggest ever in the U.S., at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and it was AMAZING!!! It's such a better fulfilling experience seeing art that you really appreciate in real life, rather on paper. I really got to feel what Dali was expressing in his paintings. I've heard many people say how demented and narcisistic he is, but i've found that i feel he was depressed and lonely in life. That's the impression i got. I loved the works, Raphaelesque Head Exploding, and the Ghost of Vermeer. My advice to anyone is that if an artist whom they really enjoy is having an exhibition, it's SOOO worth flying across the continent to see it!! You won't regret it.

Brian,
We discussed Dali in class today. I called on you to ask you to share your trip with us, but you were not in class today. Bummer.
