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.
