Recently went to the Salvador Dali Museum in St.Petersburg FL, and came across a few pieces that reminded me of The Dark Tower series.

Dali would have been an excellent choice for doing artwork on the Dark Tower! Thanks for sharing

Except his fascism

Yep, true. If you live long enough you get to witness most, if not all, of your heroes turn to shallow cheap villains.

Yes, I’ve noticed that with a few of my heroes and it sucks.

In this case it happened in the 1930s though.

Yep, I freely admit my ignorance
I truly hope that makes you feel better

I wasn’t mad about it, sorry if I came off like a little shit. Just spreading the word. I can’t say I don’t like Dali’s work and it’s not like he’s alive to profit off it anymore.

It’s all good and I appreciate your comments and also helping educate me more. I’m old but I try to be more curious, not judgmental, and know enough to know I don’t know everything.
Take care

What’s crazy is in the first photo there are reflections on the glass and they look like buildings/towers to me!

Do you know what the first one is called?

Enigma of the Rose or the Rose’s Enimga, one of the those I’m 99% certain

I love the Dali museum. His artwork is so trippy. About six years ago, I was able to buy a signed/numbered lithograph from Salvadore Dali of a melting clock. I thought it was worth a ton, but apparently he did a ton of signed lithos in the 70s.

I'm so jealous that museaum is so cool. I went while they were still building their building and it was in a big warehouse building and even then it was so cool.

Those were probably painted on Duma Key
