The big cheese at Espace Dalí

Again all in the name of venturing to the less well known...Espace Dalí in Montmartre was by far a different experience. I love Montmartre - it's lively, bustling and very artsy - bohemian all the way. Very different from the shiny Rue de Rivoli. Interesting exhibit - with the very hilarious commentaries and some of the quotations that have been attributed to this eccentric, Surrealist  artist.



 Asked what he saw in the relation between time and cheese - the melting clock being a pervasive theme in much of his work and said to have been inspired by the sight of melting camembert - Salvador Dalí 's response is said to have been "like a melting cheese, time too flows." Ok, fair enough - makes sense; when asked to elaborate further he explained that, "I am the cheese".



Definite quotable quotes from the man who declared, "I don't do drugs. I am drugs".
