While recently visiting Detroit Institute of Arts, I snapped a few photos!

Official Salvador Dali website: Salvador Dali's Museums
From Wikipedia:
"Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquis of Dalí de Púbol
(11 May 1904 – 23 January 1989), a Spanish surrealist artist."
A talented kook who liked cats!

ReplyDeleteI always wondered where the cats came from for Dali Atomicus, but I've never found out. Here's the story of it: https://time.com/4429888/dali-atomicus/. And here's a story about Dali and cats! Yes, I'm a fan. https://www.thegreatcat.org/the-cat-in-art-and-photos-2/cats-in-art-20th-century/salvador-dali-1904-1989-spanish/
