Extra Credit: Week 3
Dali Museum

Visiting the Dali Museum was pretty awesome. I liked how his work showed progression and variety. Many of Salvador Dali’s work always seemed to have a theme, and is very detail oriented. I enjoyed viewing “Fantasies, Durines” because of the water blue hue wash over the canvas. It kind of reminds me of my own work and how I try to portray that look that Dali has indeed succeeded in doing. Another immediate favorite of mine was the “Ocell…Peix(Bird…Fish)”, which was created in 1928. It is an oil collage that depicts a form of a bird in a beach setting. What I like about this piece is the odd form of the bird and how a fish is also depicted other end of the bird. The oils used to create this particular picture is finished with a gloss that makes everything look magnificent and shiny. One other good one is the “Profantian,” which was made in 1929-1930, illustrates the body of Christ or a figure of him bleeding over a mass. As I was reading the description next to the painting I was able to understand that this was “an act of discretion and contempt.” What I get out of it, it was towards people of the Catholic Church. This pieces was awesome and I would love to come back again and visit.
