Dali’s work is even more impressive in person...the Dali collection in St Petersburg is worth the trip down there.

I was fortunate to visit his museum and home in Catalan last month. There the sculpture takes center stage. He had a thing for Pirelli tires, over sized lips you sit on and a phalic swimming pool.

Then there’s Gaudi in Barcelona who I swear was a soulmate of mine.

Then there’s Picasso, who did strange his own way; very prolific.

Saw this in the Dali Museum in Florida years ago. This piece was something. Just amazing.
