I'm not a tremendous fan of Dali, though I still admire his work, and even his showmanship. I own a book by him on classical painting technique that is pretty good, even though filled with his own witticisms.

I much like that painting of the girl in the window...although dreamy, it hardly looks surreal. Am I missing something in it?

don't confuse Dali with Dada... Dali has talent, and, while dealing with the horrors of war and social dislocation, he never losthim empathy for humanity, or desire to achieve greatness...
