Earlier this month, I posted some pics of another wall of my den in Andrew's (The OB) thread HERE - take a look @ his wonderful trip/cruise. Not sure how many got to that thread, so I've decided to re-post the pics here.
Location is the corner of my den near my 'chair' - monotype print on the wall (purchased in Victoria, B.C.) and some 3D works, including my 'cute' totem pole - 3 ft. tall and carved (and painted) from half a log - purchased in Juneau, Alaska on our cruise there several decades ago. Finally, an Eagle Kachina of the adjacent wall - a metal sculpting made mainly from copper. Dave

Desmond Morris (1928-Present) is an English zoologist, ethologist and surrealist painter, as well as a popular author in human sociobiology; many may be familiar w/ his numerous books - my introduction years ago was The Naked Ape - recently there was a BBC radio special w/ an interview that centered more on his painting which apparently is now quite valuable - SO, just googled his art and the images are quizzical & surrealistic (just several included below) - derivative in my mind but fun - he reminds be of a 'combo' of Dali & Miro - Dave

Very nice paintings.....I've never heard of Desmond Morris but will do some googling.
One of my fav artists is Salvador Dali and I just love his paintings, in particular Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach.

I was thinking Dali and Terry Gilliam...

Hi Leelai - glad to find another Dali fan! I've seen numerous works by him (and like the one you showed) - probably one of my favorites from my couple of history of art courses in my early undergrad years was his Persistance of Memory (below left) - I've seen this original painting a half dozen times at MOMA in NYC (really not that large, greatest dimension about 13 inches) - love the melting watches!
Susan & I have accumulated a LOT of artwork over the years (nearly every wall in our house has objects), but in the mid-70s we bought a Dali etching @ an art auction (below right) - had to take in @ an angle to avoid the camera flash so the detail is not shown, edition of about 125 & pencil signed - looks like Dali but not sure if it is 'real' - Dali use to sign a bunch of blank artist papers and then submit a drawing for others to transfer to the print media - maybe that's what we own, but is attractive.

I don't know if you are aware, but there is a Dali museum in St. Petersburg Florida. I haven't been there, but a lot of friends have.
