I'm not usually much of a Dali fan, but I much like the one you posted in 14. It kind of looks like they are in a low flying space ship of some kind, up in the front behind a great windshield - great effect.

I own a book by Dali called "50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship." I ought to look in it again and see what I think. IIRC, he insults Cezanne's abilities pretty directly at some point. Dali's ego looms large in the book as well, again IIRC.

Oh, Dali had enough ego for the entire Paris Academy . . . but as they say, if you're good it ain't bragging . . .

I don't always agree with his treatment or his ideas, but he had the technical ability in spades.
