Comments are not being ignored
For reasons I’ve yet to determine, my replies to comments are being blocked at the moment, obviously a glitch in the Blogsome / WordPress scheme of things. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
Meanwhile, to Amy re David F Thomson, I don’t know of him and can only find references to Canadian painter David Thompson of nearly a century earlier. I suggest emailing the National Gallery in Ottawa, whose staff has been quite helpful to me in the past.
To Gorilla Bananas re Dali’s male chauvinism, he did indeed Amanda Lear that “cohones” are essential to creativity, and thus women are only useful in the kitchen. It’s in Dali Planet #139, re the Monastery of St Pere de Roda.
Another day, another haunt for Dali and Gala and their friends during the summers of the 1960s and ’70s, the Can Rafa can be seen along El Passeig in Cadaques on the Google Earth tour. 
For this spot, for now, Dali is seen in the 1970 photo by Pierre Argillet consulting a monk in Port-Lligat.
