For some reason, I can't get an image of Figure On The Rocks to load, but that's one of the Dali paintings that particularly interests me. The perspective is very different for him.

This one is in the Dali Museum here in St Pete. I've seen it a few times. Amazing up close."Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire" by S. Dali
There is a Picasso exhibit opening here at the Dali Museum next Saturday (11/8).

That would be the show to attend. I wish I could get away. I haven't been to the new Dali museum yet.
It is interesting why shadows are in different directions?

Good eye. When one has the opportunity to read Dali's own explanation for a painting one is fascinated at why he did what he did in it. What one might assume whimsy usually has a specific meaning and purpose.It is interesting why shadows are in different directions?
Thank you! I have no reason why it wouldn't post on my computer. Isn't that a strange perspective from him?
You're welcome. It's, of course, an homage to Picasso, whom Dali admired as a fellow Spaniard as well as artist. (Paranthetically, I've never gotten Picasso, who apparently brings out the philistine in me.)
Clearly it is. He has a sense of depth and dimensionality that a lot of Picasso's paintings lacked, though.
