I Escher, but I can not stand Dali's work. I dunno, I just do not like it. I did a whole project around Escher at school once, the kids absolutely loved it. ... i can see where the surrealism (at least his brand of it), would tend to be a tad disturbing...

Art is subjective by nature, but I love surrealism. I visited the Dali museum in Barcelona and was captivated by it all. I studied art at school and he was one of my major inspirations for my major work. I bought a copy of this print at the museumand had it mounted. It now hangs on the wall in my lounge room.

His painting "Starry Night" was what sparked my now never ending fascinaton with art. I love to see the direction and flow of his brush strokes . just simply love his work! Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey, Look out on a summer's day, With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and the daffodils, Catch the breeze and the winter chills, In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night. Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue. Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain, Weathered faces lined in pain, Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you, But still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night, You took your life, as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls, Frameless head on nameless walls, With eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met, The ragged men in the ragged clothes, The silver thorn of bloody rose, Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they're not listening still. Perhaps they never will... [/b][/center][/color]

this one is hanging on a wall in my house - gorgeous! i just loved van gogh's work - all of his intensity just went right into his paintings. did you know he only sold one painting while he was alive, and died thinking he was a failure? sad to think that now...
of course, you can't forget starry night! it takes my breath away every time: I use to not get it when I was young, now I feel that I do. Have you ever seen "Lust for Life" Some people don't like old movies, but this was really done very well for the time it came out. I really liked it! Here's a link to the DVD:www.imdb.com/title/tt0049456/

I think these images are used in the Linkin Park video "somewhere I belong"... Didn't know they were Dali...
