Surrealism - Salvador Dali and his successor Uri Geller

I am sorry to say though I am well educated and studied Art I didn't knew this genius well before, at universaty we had too little time for every artist, maybe there was just half an hour for Salvador Dali and he didn't impress me. But when I have seen Uri's paintings I was shocked, it was something very special. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the pics.

Uri said it's a style of Salvador Dali... and I decided to go to Spain and visit museum of Dali. Have you been there? Arhictecture of the building is very original (the eggs:), sculptures near too. Statues of Oscars which Dali dreamt to get...:)

And of course his pictures. They are fantastic. And I do understand this kind of Art, even if it looks so unusual. These are pictures of subconsciousness, pictures of dreams! One thing turns into another, maybe it is strange but all Universe is one whole! It only seems to us that we are different, that the things are apart.

Sure it is very useful to look every day at such pictures to come inside yourself, to contact your own subconsciousness.


I also understood there that Dali had a big influence on Uri Geller! Not only on sketches. I have seen there a lot of tea spoons and Cadillac, and Dali's golden jewellery (shapes of serpents).

As for sketches I have seen them too, on the walls, and yes Uri really paints in Dali's style but Uri's sketches are better! Dali's works are too fast and slipshod.

And Uri's designs of jewellery though he starts from Dali, are more interesting and original too!

I don't speak of pictures because Dali was a real Master, he studied at Academy and perfected himself for years, it would be difficult to excel him but... Uri, as an artist, as a designer is a deserving successor of Dali.

And his famous Cadillac with spoons... is a worthy work of Surrealist Art!
