Salvador Dali

1904 – 1989 | Spanish painter known for surrealism

From back in 1990 P and I have had a major fascination for Dali. We used to drool at Dali’s surrealistic paintings seen at BITS – can’t remember how we came across them. Maybe KM had a Dali obsession that was contagious?

In 2011, I got a chance to visit the Dali museum at Barcelona. Though not his most famous works, below is a selection that caught my eye, plus a posterized image of Dali.

Brings back my own nostalgic memories of Yosemite from the turn of the century……
