سافرت بأحبه و رجعت بأموت فيه
I kinda followed Dalí in every city I visited.. and I saw my favorite paintings live..
The first one I saw was in Cologne in a temporary exhibition at the Ludwig museum.. that was the Crucifixion above.. tears came to my eyes.. I couldn't believe it was really there in front of me, I was so happy. Too bad, no photos were allowed there!
Then I visited the Espace Montmartre which holds one of his biggest museums, it was mostly graphic art and bronze sculptures
And finally in Spain, I took a 2 hours train from Barcelona to Figueres his hometown where I visited the Teatro-Museo Dalí which he inaugurated in 1974..
And guess what.. I saw my other favorite.. Galatea of the Spheres.. the photo is a bit shaken.. cause it's forbidden to use the flash.. but hey. that's me with Galatea!
And finally, this is my gift to you for your desktops.. the painting on the ceiling of the Wind Palace (1972-1973).. enjoy!

Shame on me! I went many times to Montmartre but never heard of this Espace. I will take a look next time I go.
Allez! Bon retour!
