Surrealism

"Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision."

Salvador Dali












This is the type of art which resonates with me. Lovely Grey and I both thoroughly enjoyed the "Objects of Desire" exhibition which is currently showing at the Design Museum.  Dali's sofa was based on Mae West's lips.

    Not my cup of tea, but provocative. Art should provoke a response.

      If art provokes a reaction from you then it's done its job. Arilx

    Lobster-phone and lips - love it. I studied Dali for A level art history - he still intrigues me now.

      Sometimes an artist changes the world. Dali falls into that category for me. I love it for its realistic details. Arilx

    Oh I love these! My mum bought me an address book in the shape of the Lobster phone with it as the front cover!

    That sounds like the perfect address book. They had lobster shaped bags for sale which seemed very popular. Arilx
