PICASSO & DALI

Madrid Still!
Day 29

We went to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia today and saw Picasso and Dali!! Ohhhhh talk about WONDERFUL!!!!! To see Salvatore Dali FOR REAL is just out of this world! I remember seeing Dali when i was 15, in a book, and i actually bought the book when i was studying at 18 and of course, being a rebellious sort that i was, loved all his work.

And to see it for real..was amazing!

And Greg loves his work too. He was as blown away as i was! We´re loving seeing all the art here in Spain. Kindred spirits for sure.

We saw the famous works of his....including "The El gran masturbador, 1929" !!! So funny! Shows his great fear of grasshoppers!!! A lot of his works and scuptures were not there. Maybe we´ll see them in another city.

Picasso was unreal. Imagine. Seeing REAL Picasso´s!!!! Oh dear. We´re in heaven! We saw his sketches and other work..then we saw "Guernica 1937" It was so BIG! 3.5 X 7.8 metres. Unbelievable! You just don´t expect that do you???

There was a whole room of Joan Miro as well...plus other individual works scattered throughout the museum. I´m in awe.

We watched a French Movie here as well. The Director had Dali offer his help to produce it so it was a 63 minute rendition that assalted the senses! Weird! And what´s more, we watched the whole thing, and enjoyed the irony and comedy of it!

After spending SEVEN HOURS at the museum we had dinner (paella and pizza) at a restaurante nearby and now we´re bout to go to see a Flamenco!!

Thanks caza for your messsage! Youré a darl. I´ve been thinking about work and everyone there. Please say hi to everyone for me! I´m thinking about you all!

Okies..going now..will write again!
