Hey all,

I forgot to add my address to my blog in my last post..so here is it: http://ronexperience.blogspot.com/.

My journey this week will take me to the museum named in honor of the Greek goddess of wisdom Athena. One of the first American museums to exhibit Surrealism, which is a style of art that uses the subconscious as a source of creativity. Surrealism attempts to portray, or interpret the unconscious minds as manifested in dreams. I’m hoping my visit to the Wadsworth Atheneum museum this weekend will provide me the pleasure of viewing such works by world-renowned artist who was best known for the bizarre images in his surrealist work Salvador Dali.

This work of art is a portrait of Dali's wife known as Gala. The piece is called 'Galatea of the Spheres'.
