salvador dali was/is the savior of modern art. Everything else in
comparison is a shallow statement...where as Dali touched something so vast
and thoroughly that you cannot be but saturated... (not to mention his
sculptures) ...andy warhol had a factory to put icons on things....much
modern art needs an explanation and these are usually absent. Isn't it
warhol who said everyone gets there 15 minutes of fame...maybe because he
knew his was closing fast....
the work of someone like Dali will live forever. a cambells soup can and
picture of elvis or monroe is lost already on most people under 20...warhol
was "neat" Dali is simply timeless. Pick any time for him to be
born....now, 50 years from now... and he'd still have the same effect.
I'm not saying warhol was a waste....I think he was more a celebrity than an
artist though....right place right time and all that
