Salvador Dali

I went to see the Salvador Dali exhibit at the Ueno Occidental Art Museum today with Jeb. It was cool. It was also funny/annoying to see the Japanese working in straight traditional J-style art conveyor belt, look for 5 seconds take a step to the right, lather rinse repeat procedure.

I was really impressed with a lot of the works, it's interesting to follow someone's works from their earliest to their last, to see the change in style and theme, and skill. It's amazing the difference in skill from his works around 1920 to his works in the 80's. Then again, that's 60 years of experience but I mean from year to year you can see the level of detail and the subject matter changing and deepening to accompany increased skill and comfort behind the brush.

Anyway, Dali is fucking amazing, check out his works if you ever get the chance.

After that I met up with Natascha for some Denny's and went to her house to meet the kittens she's temporarily taking care of, and left promptly after her friend Nobu arrived, the son of the pastor of the church she attends here in Japan, needing to unload some stress or something whatever I don't really care. We were going to see Dali together on Monday, but she went without me without thinking or talking to me, and I went with Jeb today, and we both kinda noticed when we were talking about the exhibit that there was this odd, we said we would go to this together kinda tension, so we agreed to go check it out again together some other time since it'll be here a while, and neither of us object to seeing it a second time.
