Salvador Dali

I heard that there is a new Salvador Dali exhibit in Matamoros at the Museo de Arte Contemporanéo de Tamaulipas. I was not able to find a link concerning the event but I know it's there and I heard the exhibition reception was this past week. The museum is located at:

Ave. Constitución y Quinta S/N. Col. Jardín, H. Matamoros, Tamaulipas

...which is behind the Best Western hotel about a few blocks away from either the Matamoros-Brownsville Bridge (El Puento Viejo) or the New Bridge (which still gets called El Puento Nuevo after being proceeded by Los Tomates Bridge, and looks older than the newly renovated puento viejo..hehe).

You should all go check out the amazing paintings of this surrealist painter that streched (literally and figuratively) the visual and iconic components of our conscience into the poetry of dreams...yeah, that's my romanticized defintion of surrealism but if you want more info on surrealism click here.


Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali (1931)

I know this is his most famous piece and I don't think it will be at the Matamoros exhibition because it is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, but you all should go and check out the show in Matamoros. Considered by the mainstream art world to be one of the heavyweight contributors to modern art in the 20th century, it would be an interesting exhibition to go see.
