No matter where we travel, McDreamy and I always check the local art museum schedules to see what exhibit is currently on display, so you can just paint your own image of how excited we both were when we discovered Salvador Dalí's late works would be on display at the High Museum of Art.
It goes without question that this incredibly talented man was a pure genius! My mind is still trying to process the surreal 'worlds' I gazed upon for as long as I possibly could, and actually, my brain hurts from just trying to fathom the overall brilliance of Dalí. Yes, my friends, this 'brain pain' equates to a great exhibit of one of the world's brightest individuals.
Thank you High Museum for adding such a bonus to our Georgia visit ~

I love Dali! And I love art!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky. We had a wonderful exhibit here of some of his work. I loved it so much I wanted to go twice but before I could it was gone:(
ReplyDeleteI've been living vicariously through your Georgia posts. I never knew you were a peach!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky person. I love Dali. He comes to you in layers, does he not? And that is true of all great art. I do wish more of these types of exhibits came to Australia. The tyranny of distance (and insurance). ! xo
ReplyDeleteoh lucky thing - that would be a fantastic exhibition to catch.
ReplyDeleteDali is such an awesome artist ... you can get lost in his perfection... enjoy!
ReplyDeletei have a hard time understanding dali myself. his work is so creative but it hurts my brain too much. i wish i knew what he was thinking when he created all of his artwork.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd say that trip was a bonus. The museum looks pretty spectacular. Did you know that Dali called the town of Perpignan (where I was born) the center of the universe? I grew up knowing this little random factoid. It's my personal connection to his crazy genius. =)
ReplyDeletei'd love to go!
ReplyDeleteI envy you getting to see this show! I love his work. Someday I want to visit his house/museum in Spain. Have you been there?
ReplyDeleteYou are making me so home sick, Mrs. Georgia Peach! Say "hi" to Atlanta for me!
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate to be in the presence of his work. Love how you value what he did and who he was. May the rest of your trip be as blissful ! XO
ReplyDeleteI am from Atlanta and absolutely love the High. Thanks for posting these pictures, made me smile today. Tiny piece of home!

ReplyDeleteThat is amazing, Dali is unreal.
ReplyDeleteThat was such a wonderful exhibit! We went last week to see it and I'm still blown away wit how Dali thought. Hope you're having fun here!
