Posted: 3/14/2007 7:53:45 AM | Few years back Dali's exbit came threw Philly
It was record breaking~

For me veiwing at his early work,when he was younger in Spain ,
was really beatiful and inspiring.
It was the Western world that seemed to bring out the devil in him | |

DALIFEST 25th ANNIVERSARY
Performer Schedule (11:00am - 8:00pm)
11:00 - Indo Flamenco Fusion: Nandkishor Muley & Fuego Flamenco
India meets Spain in this world fusion of Indian & Flamenco music led by Nandkishor Muley, the remarkable Grammy-award winning Maestro of the Santur (South Asian hammered dulcimer). Traveling from Germany for this event, Muley begins the performance accompanied by WMNF's Eluv on tambura. It continues with a performance by the fiery Sarasota Flamenco trio Fuego Flamenco (Tahja, Juan de la Sierra and Jeff Lloyd), concluding with an Indo Flamenco fusion involving all participants. A magical event not to be missed! (75 minutes)
12:45 - Rayzilla's PBS
Both whacked and sublime, a stew of world music, pop songs, and jazz fusion, all with a hint of insanity, from the mind of WMNF's Rayzilla. Performers include Jim Beckwith, Alfredo Rivero, Matt Cowley and Jeremy Powell. Rayzilla's set will feature his notorious Dalí homage, "I am Not Mad," and the eventual mega hit, "Bomb." (60 min)
2:15 - Infinite Groove Orchestra
Saxophonist Jeremy Powell leads this earthy quartet through "danceable grooves and diverse musical themes, featuring syncopated, beat-a-licious jams and mind-expanding improvisation." Weekly Planet. With influences from Miles Davis to Funkadelic to Fela Kuti, you know this will be hot. (45 min)
[Shim, originally scheduled for this time slot, is unable to attend]
3:30 - Sam Rivers Trio
Legendary Grammy-nominated jazz musician, Rivers has been a part of the history of jazz, working with musicians from Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, to avant-garde figures like Cecil Taylor and Anthony Braxton. He has since gone on to forge a personal vocabulary and leads one of the outstanding jazz trios in the world. This will be the righteous event of the season.
The Sam Rivers Trio performance is co-sponsored by the Emit Series of Adventurous Music. (60 min)
5:00 - Gravy (w/ Ronnie Dee)
Intense powerhouse funk horn band featuring one of the hardest grooves found anywhere in the Tampa Bay area, brought to you by local impresario Ronnie Dee. (60 min.)
6:30 - Bogus Pomp
World-renowned Frank Zappa repertoire band formed in 1994 by Jerry Outlaw and Rick Olson. Musicians include an unlikely combination of educators, symphony players, jazzers, and rockers, all with a common interest in Zappa's music. After 12 years, they are the tightest band around, and they blew people's minds at the 2006 Zappanale Festival in Germany. Come and have your mind blown as well! (90 min.)

| Two New Shows At The Dali Museum St Pertersburg Florida
Posted: 6/29/2007 9:21:34 AM | Dali in Focus
Through January 2008
Morse Galleries
Encounter Dalí in depth through a selection of paintings from the Museum's permanent collection displayed with a focus on the hidden details. The exhibit will showcase various periods from his early 1900s to 1980s and seven works will receive a closer examination for Dalí's particular blend of personal interpretation. Assisted by dynamic visual aids and illustrated panels, the paintings will be interpreted section-by-section to analyze the dreams, desires and memories that inspired the work. Curated by Joan Kropf, Curator of the Collection.
June 22 – September 23, 2007
Traces Gallery
St. Petersburg has been home of the most comprehensive collection of Salvador Dalí’s works in America for 25 years. One may wonder, how did this revered collection come to be? This cultural treasure is the result of A. Reynolds and Eleanor R. Morse’s 45 year friendship with Salvador and Gala Dalí starting with their first acquisition, Daddy Longlegs of the Evening…..Hope! A meticulous archive from the Morses' research, anecdotes, travel logs, photographs and receipts of purchase has allowed us to uncover our paintings' unique provenance histories, from the hands of the artist to their current home in our Museum. Curated by Elen Woods, Assistant Curator.

| Two New Shows At The Dali Museum St Petersburg Florida
Posted: 6/29/2007 1:28:03 PM | bajajohn
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us. I have been to your museum and it really did give me a new understanding of just how great Dali was a technical painter and an innovator. my visit to your Music did change my views on Dali.
Pandy, You really should take up papajohns offer. I have an idea that your view of Dali has been tainted by all the fakes and frauds that are still floating around. The sad thing is that many people still have these pieces and still think they are worth a lot of money. Like You I have been in the Gallery bussiness for many years. I can't tell you how many times someone has come into the gallery offering to sell me an original Dali print. They are under some impression that the print they bought for $1500.00 is now worth $25,000.00 or more. It is really sad.
I Happen to love original Lithographs and etchings. Like you I encourage people to buy work of living breathing artist. Many local and regional artist are producing excellent work. You can often find good work for a few hundred. | |

| Two New Shows At The Dali Museum St Petersburg Florida
Posted: 7/2/2007 10:06:52 AM | | Salvidor Dali....haven't thought about him for awhile. There is so much great art out there and so many artists that launched a million ideas. Dali definetely moved mountains. There were a series of photographs of him with a crooked cane and of course his trade mark moustache. His eccentric personality was captured perfectly. I rememeber those most and of course his melting clocks. Yes he was a genius. | |

October 14–January 6 | Art of the Americas Building*
Throughout his life and career, renowned surrealist Salvador Dalí maintained a deep connection with film as an artistic medium. He collaborated with movie greats such as Luis Buñuel, Alfred Hitchcock, and Walt Disney, and created works influenced by Cecil B. De Mille and the Marx Brothers. Dalí & Film, coming to Los Angeles, the epicenter of film, aims to illustrate the cinematic influences and elements that are present in Dalí's work as well as the contribution he made to cinema. The exhibition brings together a variety of key pieces from Dalí's oeuvre, incorporating painting, film, photography, sculpture, and texts. Dalí & Film is organized by the Tate Modern, London, in collaboration with the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation.

Posted: 3/29/2008 3:22:27 PM | For you Dali fans, you might be surprised to know that in London, at the train station there are Dali sculptures peppered about. such an awesome treat to turn around and see an elephant with giraffes legs, or a woman with a head of cabbage. and you can look at them for free!
London is my favorite city in the world. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 1:16:56 PM | | Dali was a true genius. Noone in this country should miss the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. You will have the opportunity to examine his very tentavive, derivative first paintings, through his small masterpieces (you won't believe how small "The Persistence of Memory" is), to his gigantic history paintings, and finally his last perplexing work that hints at the fourth dimension. Technically, his handly of paint is exquisite. He called himself "the last of the Old Masters", and you know, he just might be right. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 10:19:11 PM | I went on a pilgrimage all the way to Paris... just to see the Dali Museum.
In a turn of events befitting the maestro, I didn't get a chance to GET there until my last two days in Paris. . . and the Museum was closed for repairs. Arrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh! I love Dali.

Posted: 3/31/2008 11:27:06 PM | | I totally agree. I LOVE Salvador Dali's art! | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 2:51:18 AM | I agree with most of you on this thread Dali was a genius. I have always admired his art and he has inspired me as an artist. I also do some surrealism and often hide weird images in my paintings.
Thank you Baja John, I have really enjoyed your comments. It is so nice to hear from an art expert.
I have heard that Dali hated his sister. Is that a reference perhaps to his father marrying his wife's sister which would make her a sort of step sister? I know he made some sexually explict inuendos in his work. | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 7:48:39 PM | Actually --- Dali loved his sister Ana Maria -
she was 4 years younger than Salvador and was the main model
in his paintings before he met Gala (1929)
Ana Maria payed a significant and positive role in his life and works through 1927-28...........
The problem was ::: Dali attended the San Fernando Academy of Arts in Madrid --
his dorm mates were Louis Bunnel and Federico Garcia Lorca ..
Lorca was indeed Gay and loved Dali ---
Ana Maria loved Lorca,,,
and although they were all friends -- The triangle never to be was broken,
Ana Maria was ruined by the rejection of her advances to Lorca-
She blamed her brother -- as Lorca was truely in love with him and not her......
she never really forgave her brother for the loss of the love of her life ,,,,
Lorca died at the hands of Franco in 1936 ,,,,,, Ana Maria never married -------
Yes,,,,,,,,,,,
The Father ,,, elder Salvador Dali did indeed marry sister of the wife after she died-
Dali and Ana Maria lost their mother at a relatively young age... they were about 16 & 12 at
the time of her death ---
The Aunte' marries the elder Dali in short order and becomes in fact the EVIL STEP MOTHER.
Dali did have many phobias , and was consumed by many myths ,legends , paintings & authors | |
