Kennedy by Dali

Salvador Dali - Kennedy, etching

Most times I pass by Galerie Lareuse when it's closed, and I'm trying to take some shots from the window, fighting with the reflections of electrical light.

Today I saw there this JFK, an etching made by Dali.

From Millet to Dali: Galerie Lareuse in Georgetown

Jean-Francois Millet

Galerie Lareuse is in Georgetown, where Pennsylvania Avenue joins M Street. It is amazing how many art treasures are in a such a tiny room. You enter the small gallery, suddenly you are in a totally another world as the one you left on the street. You look around: enchanted discoveries surround you and you found yourself under a charming spell.

The curator of the gallery, Creg D. Kelley, is young and passionate, dedicated to his work. It is a pleasure to talk to him and to listen to his explanations about each art work there: 19th and 20th century European prints, contemporary American art, illustrated books, works on paper by original masters.

For the beginning, two photos that I tried to make there: Millet and Dali. Enjoy!

Masters of Deception - Dali

A gouache on paper, made by Dali in 1941. What is the meaning? Well, according to Salvador Dali, here is hidden a great symbolic meaning, more precisely the back of the nurse has some meaning for him, having its roots in obscure associations with his childhood nurse. We are supposed to agree, is there any other possible explanation?
