Dali Planet #2: Llers, Spain
Okay, the Great Salvador Dali Biography, months in the making, is now uploaded to Google Earth. You can find the post here or just start reading the Dali House version below, which not only has Google Earth images of some of the places on the tour, it’s got a few extra photos and some additional information too.
It is quite comprehensive, collating bits of info from all over the Web without me ever once going out and paying actual money for an actual book. I hope Dali House visitors find it as entertaining and instructive to read as I did pulling it all together. A list of online links appears at the bottom of this first post.
There are 185 places around the globe on the Google Earth tour and, even with several locations bundled together in single posts here, there should ultimately be almost as many entries on the blog, starting … right now.
“My life,” Salvador Dali once said to the moans of his many detractors, “is one tragical sequence of exhibitionism.” There is a lot to dislike about Dali. He was a male chauvinist, ridiculed his friends’ needs, kowtowed to fascists, was bizarrely aberrant in sexual matters, admitted to “a pure, vertical, mystical, gothic love of cash” that ultimately almost wrecked the market for his own art, and he built a fortress of appalling megalomania around his fundamental absence of self-esteem. See the rest.
