Mad?

"There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad. "Salvador Dali.

Maybe he was but definitely creative in so many ways and such fun. We really enjoyed a visit to his weird and wonderful Theatre-Museum in Figueres today. Blip is the ceiling in part of the museum. It represents different passages of his life with his wife, Gala.....through the 'dreams' of life, to them contemplating the ship of destiny, and was completed in situ on enormous scaffolding. 
Extras: photo by his friend (Robert Whitaker) which I just love. Also a pen and ink sketch of drawers, which for him symbolised memory, unconscious and the mystery of hidden secrets. He talked about Freud using psychoanalysis to reveal the secrets in the drawers.
Lots to contemplate - an interesting visit!
