A SO CALLED GENIUS AND REBELS
This morning I spent an hour or more going through all the paintings which I could find on Internet by Salvador Dali. As you can imagine there is a plethora and it confirmed my reactions to the exhibition I saw earlier in this week - but it also helped me to go a little further. His surrealist period has always been too much for me. I get a little tired of the repeated symbols and in a retrospective such as this with probably most of the paintings dedicated to the surrealistic period which began in the late 30’s. It is a little overpowering. Not apparently for the public who "ummed and ahhed" in front of many of the paintings we know so well, pointing out to one another the reasoning behind each symbol. I somehow can’t be bothered. Yet I did discover that a some of his work caught my attention - certainly not the big paintings but the smaller ones and a sculpture which I did appreciate.
