I've read all three of his autobiographies:
The Secret Life of Salvador Dali
Diary of a Genius
The Unspeakable Confessions

Not when you consider he thought himself too intelligent to be a good painter.Inappropriate modesty.
Watch the interview I posted for Dali's own explanation.I really don't believe I follow your reasoning here...
My favourite painting is one called Flora by Titian. Unfortunately I can’t post images or links yet as I don’t have enough posts; when I have 20 posts I’ll come back and edit this post to insert an image.
Why do people find serious but unrealistic paintings appealing ?
That's not exactly what I meant though.Why do people find different foods more appealing than others?
Why do people find different books appealing?
Because we are all different and have different views, tastes and thoughts about everything. Imagine a world where only ONE type of art is being made, would you enjoy seeing only one type food being made or one philosophy?![]()
Why would you say that ?I think Enmos isn't really a person to whom art in general has much appeal.
