Alice in Wonderland as illustrated by Salvador Dali

[Rubin Farr]

i've been to the Dali museum in St. Petersburg FL a dozen times, but never heard of this before. seems like one of those lost gems of the past, like Destino:

To be honest, it looks like shit.

 

Maybe Im not artsy-fartsy enough.

 

The best painting is "The Queen;s Croquet Ground" and they even edited it for the banner.

[QBLA]

Yeah... I remember croquet ground being my favorite back in the day.

a dozen times? did you live in tampa or something?

[QBLA]

I went there once when I lived near orlando. I remember it being one of my things to do when i lived there. I'm sure you're wondering why Hoodie, but I miss it out there.

i went there once too when i was at the beach at clearwater. figured i might as well see the museum since i had been wanting to for years. i wasn't disappointed. i loved the architecture and it was amazing to see some of his paintings in person. especially this one, which is MASSIVE:

 

 

really cool place to visit. don't know if i'd want to go a dozen times though, lol.

 

also, orlando is nice. i like florida a lot, even though all my friends and family call it the armpit of america. maybe i have some variant of stockholm syndrome.

I agree not really up to par with his more well known works... they look rushed and half-assed

[MAXIMUS MISCHIEF]

those look like a 3 yr old drew them lol

yes, Clearwater. between annual passes and field trips we went there way too much.

[Silent Member]

I liked this one, the rest not so much.

[Braintree]

Each one looks kind of rushed, but I still like a few.

It's interesting to see such colorful work from Dali, but it doesn't really move me

I really like the splashed inky figures tho

Great! I like those better. Too bad those images are a bit small

i've been there too, took me a good couple of minutes to make out the matador, specially when it's that size.

 

and i like where i live because it's where i live and it's made me who i am (jamlando, o-town, central conservative-ass florida, home)

[Guest Coalbucket PI]

I like him a lot but some of his later stuff is just so scribbly it doesn't have any of the dreamy grandeur

[vertsk8er419]

"down the rabbit hole" and "pool of tears" are the best of this series obv

 

 

really diggng these two

[QBLA]

I lived in Davenport in my brief stay there. No telling how things would've been if I were to stay. But I'm pretty sure I'd still have a job if I did.

[Guest Sprigg]

The Pool of Tears and Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill are awesome.

[hipster] its too underground, you probably wouldn't understand it [/hipster]

[xyrofen]

I like the sharp black lines of the figures usually in the lower areas that contrast with the rest of the painting that seems to be in most of them.

How about these by Ralph Steadman - the guy who did all the Hunter S. Thompson stuff - then...
