The last piece (the Dalí one) brings back memories of the Dalí exhibition I visited last year when I was in London. He’s truly a genius, he’s truly a twisted individual. So warped, so macabre, so vivid, so explicit, so unique, so non sequitur.


Oh and I’m a little puzzled as to why most surrealist art pieces feature flat earth plains so frequently, or large monolithic buildings. It definitely conveys a sense of mystique.
