...Continued from yesterday: Though our plans for Monday had originally included a visit to the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium,
Now, I'm as fascinated and charmed as anyone by aquatic creatures and habitats, but Salvador Dali is my favorite artist, even though I've seen only a few of his actual paintings, having seen mostly photos of his works in art books. So rather than going to the aquarium I really wanted to go to the Dali museum. Which we did. As the museum didn't open until 10 am we started out Monday morning with another walk around downtown Monterey, ...where we discovered a doughnut shop displaying the most wonderful-looking wares, which of course we had to sample. After our doughnut break it was almost time for the museum to open so we headed down to the bay area to the Dali 17.
Interestingly, the museum was filled not with Dali's more known works, with the exception of a couple of "Persistence of Memory" doubles, ...but rather with etchings, lithographs, mixed media pieces,
It was not the Dali I was used to, but wonderful all the same. At one spot in the museum there was a sofa shaped like a pair of lips across which the light fell to create lines,
An awesome coincidence, thought I.
