Art discussion yummy.

Dali stands out as one of my favorite painters. I really enjoyed the surrealist movement. Veristic surrealism is going to make a comeback in the next 20 years I think. I was never a real fan of automatism, and there's nothing I find lamer than abstrct expressionism...

A couple of my top favorite paintings

Metamorphosis of Narcissus - Dali


Swans Reflecting Elephants - Dali


Madonna Of Port Ligat - Dali


and of course the staples like Persistence of Memory, I think Dali did most of his best work in the late 30's and 40's. Any pieces which really took the paranoiac critical method to it's extreme's are sure to be greats. there's too many Dali paintings i could post, but these are three of his better.

Then we have a few other good surrealists

Infinite Divisibility - Yves Tanguy


The Librarian - Martins De Barros


Castle Of the Pyrenees - Rene Magritte


Speedy & Speed - Mariola Bogacki


Genesis - Mariola Bogacki
