There was a thread recently asking why museums were worth it or something like that. The Dalí museum in St Pete Florida is what I used as an example, so many of good paintings are either tiny or huge and no art book I have has properly conveyed that.

I went there on a field trip through my community college. The museum was amazing, definitely worth the trip if you’re in Florida.

Wow, I didn’t realize that. It’s pretty surprising considering he also has some truly massive paintings. Like, reconsider your architecture if you’re planning to buy one, big.

If I could get Escher to reconsider my architecture I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I went to an exhibition of his works that did a very good job of collecting many of his well known paintings from various sources.

It quickly became clear that the physical size any painting was unpredictable however familiar I was with it from a book. The guy knew how to paint!

Hehe, that’s funny. So everyone thinks it’s this profound thing, but he was actually just talking about the size of office paper?

I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny…
