Today I rode across the bridges to Saint Petersburg to visit the Dali Museum. When I lived here, the Dali Museum was a regular excursion for me. The OLD Dali Museum, that is.
This is my first visit to the new museum and I definitely like the what they’ve done.
Currently the Picasso/Dali, Dali/Picasso exhibition is there (until the 22nd). Having never been drawn to the better known iconic Picasso works, I found this exhibition to be a delightful introduction to the artist. It shed a whole new light on him. Possibly it is because I am a Dali admirer. Maybe it’s because I’ve now seen a number of different pieces up close where I could study both the technique and the artist. Whatever the reason, I had a marvelous time seeing the rivalry of Dali and Picasso hanging side by side, piece by piece.
As always, I enjoyed my trip across the bay to admire work by the only artist I’ve seen who can depict how my mind works with his brushes and paints. It was a good day.
Ciao.
