Thought Provoking Thursday

Manic Mother

3Salvador-Dali-Hallucinogenic-Toreador

What do you think is one of the greatest works of art, of all time?

My Answer: Salvador Dali’s, Hallucinogenic Toreador. For one of our first dates my husband took me to the Salvador Dali museum in Tampa. I was absolutely blown away. I still don’t understand how a persons mind could think the way his did (well obviously he was a little mad), but he painted so many images, inside of other images. His work is so brilliant. Look at it awhile, how many things can you see?

Your turn! Leave your answer in the comments, or do TPT on your blog, use my question or one of your own, you can find the button in my sidebar. Thanks!

  1. Amazing isn't it? I don't have time to count everything, but it is scary to think that all of this was in his mind.

    Have a great day SITSta!

  2. His work is a real trip! I have so many favorite artists (each for a different style/technique) that to single only one out is impossible. Just like favorite colors - I couldn't have just one! If you like Dali, have you seen Klee? It's also pretty bizarre.

  6. I don't really have a fav. Every piece of art is unique and special to me.

  8. If I had any talent for painting, my artwork would look like this, as this pretty much sums up the inner workings of my mind.

  9. It's not my favourite, but I did have a large poster of this on my college wall during freshman year, & it was so nice to be reminded of it. I didn't know it was on display in Tampa, will see the real thing if I get there one day. XX
