Dali House

Dali’s “Portrait of Picasso”, which he painted while he was living in California in 1947. Pablo must have been pleased, or at the very least bemusedly miffed, with the big oil on canvas. He’s become a bust mounted on a pedestal, so that can’t be bad. He’s got boobs for nurturing, which is weird but surely complimentary. See the rest.

If you lived here, you’d be home by now. But think about it before you go inside: What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

So what about “The Persistence of Memory”, Dali’s most famous painting? The website www.dali-gallery.com offers the following commentary on the 1931 masterpiece:

Many of Dalí’s paintings were influenced and inspired by the landscapes of his youth. Several in particular were painted on the slopes of Mount Pani, which was covered in beautiful umbrella pines at the time. Many of the strange and foreboding shadows in the foreground of many Dalí paintings is a direct reference to and result of Dalí’s love of this mountain near his home. See the rest.
