I wanted to share this video with you from You Tube. It's one of the best that I've seen on Salvadore Dali. I saw of book of his work in the Glendale, California library when I was very young. Later in 1977 when I was working on a Bette Davis film in Mentor, Ohio, I met an artist Louis Pennfield who asked me if I'd seen the Dali Museum. Turned out that it was a collection of Dali's work that was in a factory in Willoughby, Ohio, just 30 minutes or so from Mentor. A wealthy factory owner had managed to get over 200 of Dali's best paintings and kept them in a special climate controlled, and very large gallery. It was open by appointment only and we arranged to go there. It was a great opportunity to see the paintings that I had only seen in books. A very nice memory. Later on I heard that the factory owner had a falling out with Dali and sold the entire collection, which ended up in Florida.
Louis and I ended up having a two man art show at Lakeland College a year later. Check out Dali's video below. He was one of a kind.
