Dali

Posted to What Are You Reading?




This book sounds like a gem. How'd you like it?

I was in a Dali musuem somewhere(Barcelona, Paris, London?) and I caught sight of this movie he made. I asked if I could purchase it but alas it was not for sale. They were showing it on a few small televisions around the exhibit. I sat there for over an hour and watched an odd display of cinematography. My favorite sculpture: an old timey telephone with a lobster replacing the headset part. There were also enormous wood sculptures of the famous melting clocks and ornate porcelain? elephant/swans. In the basement there was a Picasso exhibit(mostly sketches). This is in Paris on Montmarte(hopefully permanent). There was also a temporary exhibit in London I saw which I could have mixed into my description.

Also, this could all be a figment of my imagination.
