"Me, I think Dali was a genious. Don't get me wrong, I admire the work of Picasso, but I just think Dali had that special touch. Surrealism is usually seen as some swirly colours and imaginary creatures or something, but Dali made it look so much like realism, so realistic, even though it was still surrealism, like in that one called..... i can't remember the name.. but it was something like "Flight of a bee around a pomegranate a second before awakening" or something like that.. the images look so realistic, but the situation cannot be further from realism. That is something which I think is a great skill to achieve. [By the way, I'm only 16, so like Booey I still feel as if I am a bit too immature for this discussion.. but I just think Dali is great.. or maybe it's because he came up in my art coursework research.. but still :)] 699416@blogcritics.org Mon, 3 Mar 2008 13:37:10 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/29/224445.php#comment-696918 When Dali was asked who his favorite artist was, by Mike Wallace, Dali replied, "Picasso, and then Dali and then sounded like he changed his mind and decided Dali was Dali's favorite artist.
