I had the feeling that the 1st pic was 'spoofed', but I did'nt know that the 2nd pic was an original piece.

Thanks! Dali can f**k off, btw. Like Warhol, he was a far better self-publicist than he was an artist. Blergh.


Go see the masterworks in the St. Petersburg museum and then see if you can stick with that opinion. 

Dali was most certainly a publicity whore, though. LOL

Also, consider this, as an artist is it better for you personally to achieve fame after you are dead?

I'm far from an art anything, but I do like what me eye sees. And most of that is from people I know and album covers, so far my two favourites are a guy I know, Abraxas (forum user name, not the Santana album) and Celeste Potter, an independent Australian artist and musician.

A couple of Abraxas' works:





For some reason, Celeste's works aren't posting but they're all on her blog here:

Nah, Dali could actually wield a brush and come up with clever ideas. Warhol merely recycled Duchamp by extolling mundane consumerism.
 
Seconded.......I never saw the appeal of Warhol, personally.

Is that Robert DeNiro ? It does look like him, and the reflective pose is 100% RdN. 
 
Etes-vous me parler?
