Dali
Yesterday marked the last day of the Dali Exhibit at the NGV. Me and the girls managed to sneak in some cultural time on Friday before a full-on shopping spree at Bridge Rd; and I must say… it was worth it!
A 30min wait in line for the tickets and a massive crowd wasn’t ideal, but I was definitely glad I went. It was amazing to see such a full body of work from the amazing artist, from his early impressionist works to move sets and ballet productions. Although I am not an explicit fan of his work or style, there was no doubt that Dali as a person was infinitely interesting. His experiences, personality, interests and all that inspired him to create what he created was what I found most satisfying from the whole exhibit. I was a bit upset that I’d missed the animation of Dali and Disney’s collaboration titled “Destino”, but I did manage to find it online. WOW! I just can’t believe it’s still in archives. Also, did you know that the dream sequence from Hitchcock’s “Spellbound” was designed by Dali? How cool is that!
Definately an artist I’m going to do more reading and research on!
