I was fortunate to visit his museum and home in Catalan last month. There the sculpture takes center stage. He had a thing for Pirelli tires, over sized lips you sit on and a phalic swimming pool.

Then there’s Gaudi in Barcelona who I swear was a soulmate of mine.

Then there’s Picasso, who did strange his own way; very prolific.

Saw this in the Dali Museum in Florida years ago. This piece was something. Just amazing.

Here’s some little-known Salvador Dali illustrations from “The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini”:

Wow just happened across this thread.

I love Dali!

Great painting, I have never seen it before now.

I have several (prints, not originals) and a couple of books of color renditions of many of his paintings.

My favorite picture of him is his being lifted with a helicopter by his mustache!
