Hey Florida!
THE ONLY THING AS SURREAL AS THIS ELECTION DAY:
SALVADOR DALI’S ARTWORK!
I can’t say who Salvador Dali would favor in today’s election. What I can say is that his work seems a perfect representation of this surreal moment in time.
Dali said that some of work was intended “to systemize confusion and thus to help discredit completely the world of reality.”
So today seems appropriate to chat a bit about this quite famous artist.
I recently had a wonderful opportunity to view some of his smaller and some of his largest works at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, which has more than 2,400 of Dali’s artworks.
Dali’s work, and life, were wild!
Some of Dali’s influences, whom he actually personally knew, included art school chums Le Corbusier, Einstein, Calder and Stravinsky.
He was kicked out of his school and then went to Paris, where he visited with Pablo Picasso. While Dali didn’t stick with his cubist work, Picasso had opened his eyes to how bold an artist could be.
He next produced a film with Luis Buñuel which, while somewhat horrifying the average citizens due to its sexual and political nature, attracted the attention of the French Surrealist movement, who invited him to join.
Unfortunately for the famous poet Paul Eluard, who brought his wife Gala with him to speak with Dali about joining the Surrealist movement in Paris, Dali and Gala instantly began an affair.
This eventually ended in Gala divorcing Eluard and later marrying Dali. Gala became Dali’s muse and his business manager. So perhaps Dali was pro-women.
Dali said he created his work by putting himself in a highly paranoid state, having vivid dreams, and then painting what he had seen in those dreams.
He was also enthralled by Sigmund Freud, whom he adored. Freud, of course, loved Dali’s work, much of which was about paranoia and sexual in nature.
He knew Coco Chanel and Andy Warhol, both of whom really liked Dali and his art.
Like much of the art world, the Surrealist movement was a political one.
I wish we could have seen what he would have painted were he alive to see this election!!

LET’S TALK POLITICS AND RELIGION! REALLY?
As we all know, never discuss politics or religion…
So, how about the controversy over the reconstruction of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris?
(Y’all do remember that Notre-Dame had a huge fire in April of 2019, right?)
A debate is now raging over a move by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron took up an idea suggested by Laurent Ulrich, the archbishop of Paris.
The idea?
During the rebuilding, why not replace several of the stained-glass windows within Notre-Dame’s south aisle with new contemporary designs?
Macron put out a call to French artists to enter a design competition for six new windows.
Cue the uproar!
A petition was immediately launched by the publication LaTribune de l’Art that opposes changing the 19th Century stained-glass windows. The petition obtained well over 100,000 signatures within days.
The petition says that changing the windows would not be in the spirit of restoring the cathedral to its last known historical state.
However, according to an article in The Smithsonian, “Only a small portion of the current glass dates back to the 12th century, while the majority was added much later in the 17th, 19th and 20th centuries.”
Next, according to an article in the European Conservative, a public body under the French Ministry of Culture, the National Commission for Heritage and Architecture, held kind of an emergency meeting and unanimously ruled against replacing the windows.
However, the Commission serves in a consulting role, not a legislative one.
So in response to their ruling, the Minister of Culture issued a news release noting that the replacement project is moving forward, and that the Commission will be consulted again in the Fall to review the winning artist’s project.
The art world is filled with stories of politics and religion. It’s exciting to see how this will play out.
FYI, I took this photo in July. Work is underway - to finish by the end of this year!

This home at 112 Kings Place has a public open house today. The layout is fantastic, the finishes are gorgeous and unique. The interior doors are from Bali. The range color is so special. So pretty I wanted to cry. Yet PLEASE whoever buys this, put in some real art! A $28 million home is made shabby by using cheap fake art. At least put in a few pieces at 1 to 3 percent of the price even if you don’t love art ($280,000 to $840,000). Anything much less is like putting metal folding chairs around the dining room table!
