Dali Museum Tour

By Tour Guide Ms. Patricia Allen

As I arrived at my destination September 25th, The Dali Museum located at One Dali Boulevard, in the beautiful waterfront city of St. Petersburg, Florida I was not amazed to see the eclectic art located both within and outside of the building, but at the wide array of different people working at the building. I was greeted by a meek gray haired woman with

As I approached the very top of the stairs a saw a few patrons milling around the tour area and to my immediate right sitting left of the entry door sat a woman and her companion, her seeing eye dog, who were also waiting for the tour begin as well. Since I was a little early I took the time to walk around the third floor and look at the sculptures and paintings, take allowable photos and take in the panoramic and stunning view of the St. Petersburg waterfront, Pier, Airport, and The Mahaffey Theatre and nearby Progress Energy Baseball …show more content…
Allen moves from painting to painting without any hesitation and with grace and ease and within a few minutes the audience seems to have forgotten about her Seeing Eye dog companion. The tour progresses into the middle of the room where painting of a beautiful nude woman is view. Ms. Allen informs us that the model in the painting is actually Dali’s wife and that she would later serve as the model and inspiration to many of his works. From painting and painting, movement after movement the audience seems to begin to ease its way into focusing on the tour, the story of Dali and his paintings rather than the ability for Patricia to lead the

    As I entered the Norton Simon Museum , the first exhibit I saw was a sketch done by the famous Pop artist Andy Warhol. The drawing was of canned tomatoes by Val Vita , a company that Simon owned, and was commissioned for Simon's birthday by his sister .

    The author starts off describing this sudden urge and desire to view a painting he has seen so many times in reproduction – The Painting of the woman with necklace. The author spent 2 hours in the gallery observing minute details of this painting alone. He views it so close up that his nose was almost on the painting and the guard had to kind of waive him off and then he studied the painting from several different directions. He was paying attention to every minute detail such as clothing, colors, shades, folds, texture and elements of the painting ,and he was referring to some critics point of view and making a point to look at the painting with a fresh eye. The painting had him engrossed so much like no other painting ever before. The painting was like urging him and telling a total different story than critics’ views.…

    I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art on April 8th, a beautiful and sunny day. Being around the museum conjured a sense of nostalgia to my middle school days when I took a field trip to the museum. Since that last visit I have gained a better understanding about art and what goes into every piece of work. I have also gained more experience, back then I did not know how to shade properly and did not know a thing about composition. Now, I have a greater appreciation for every stroke of a brush and color applied. The reason I chose the North Carolina Museum of Art was solely to re-experience the art with my new artistic eye. While walking through the museum, I searched for that one piece of art that would catch my eye and inspire me to talk…

    One of the most fascinating of Salvador Dali’s later works is 1954s The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory, a direct continuation of Dali’s 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory. Offering a darker interpretation of this earlier work, Disintegration features a flooded version of the original landscape, many of the original elements breaking down and literally disintegrating. Much of these changes in the makeup and composition of the painting are a result of Dali’s own change in outlook from the subjective dream exploration of surrealism to the more practical and fascinating world of science and quantum mechanics (Lubar 136). In this exploration of…
