Gaudi's Sagrada Familia






I recently showed the ceiling of this church. Thought you might like a few more pictures to show what it looks like. It is gothic architecture with a modernist twist.

Salvador Dali


Early work


1923


1947


1974

Salvador Dali went through many styles of painting, but became most famous as a surrealist with his dripping clocks. However he worked in many styles at different times, and in many art mediums. He was a painter, sculptor, and jewelry designer. Our trip to Figueres to the Dali Museum was a great success, but made for a long day of travel and walking.
