You are definitely not the first person to feel that way! I kinda felt the same. But I think that's partly at least a function of the environment there. First of all you have to trek through like a mile or two of crowds to get there, then mill through the crowd in an attempt to get up close. She's

My best friends mum has some pieces of Dali in their house (HUGE house) ... All originals. They collected his works before he died. They paid like $27 for this plate he designed (they found it in their travels through Spain) And one of his Don Quioxote paintings hangs in their entry foyer. This is

A lot of his work is at the Dali Museum in Tampa, Florida. And his Last Supper is in the Smithsonian Art Museum in D.C. It's in the elevator/stairwell of the east (north?) wing (the side closer to the Capitol). Saying it's in the stairwell sounds crappy, but you have to experience riding down the e

Dali tickles my brain! I don't know about the Lovre, but most of his stuff is in the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL. I've seen one or two of his paintings up close.  I've also seen several of his sculpture/painting hybrid thingies up close.  The paintings I like are even better in person.

I'd love to see a Dali up close and personal. He's my favorite artist and I somehow think that having posters, calendars, and prints just isn't doing his work any justice. Are any of his there at the Louvre? Candace K. Cottrell, Web Developer The Children's Medical Center One Children's Plaza D

Same here. A lot of paintings and photographs translate as well or better to print, IMO. While I'm not one to really criticize DaVinci's technical capabilities, I too am often disappointed looking at the actual painting. Maybe not disappointed, but certainly the reality doesn't always match my imag

This may be sacriligious and if my art teacher heard me say this, she'd likely beat me, but I prefer to see the Mona Lisa in print, in books or on a poster. Seeing her in person, up close, was WA not impressive. The ACT of it was. "Hey! We did the Louvre! We saw the Mona Lisa!" But looking

Amazing, no? I spent a bit of time in the darkroom in school, but I've generally been fine with printed photos in books since most photos are about the subject matter rather than the craft of printing. However, Adams' mastery of exposure and printing mean that looking at a photo in a book is like l
