Whoa! It takes a genius like Salvador Dali to come to Melbourne so that an art ignorant like me will be able to grasp what art is all about. I have seen the works of Picasso, but those abstract and cubism arts he created did not move me at all. Those exhibits of Van Gogh had baffled me as well. I wondered why his art pieces are considered as masterpieces.
Dali’s works captivate awe and admiration from any sensitive viewer– through his colours, contours/ lines, brush strokes, balance, measurement and precision–creating depth and distinct aesthetic expressions. I didn’t finish viewing his collections as I was running out of time….I had to get back to the seminar room and listen to Melbourne and Victoria’s tourism strategic planners as they presented their marketing plans to position the city and the state as a top visitors’ destination.
I want to go back to the exhibits and take a a more inquisitive look at those fabulous art works–I hope I can…
