Salvador Dali Homage to Venice

Homage to Venice

Venice is a city in northeast Italy sited on a group of 118 small

islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, and is a top
destination for travlers and tourists.

The name Venice is derived from the ancient Veneti people
who inhabited the region by the 10th century B.C.

Dali and his wife Gala traveled to Venice for vacation with
Coco Chanel and others.

Venice was a favorite spot for Dali as he was influenced by its

architecture and its artworks, and inspired a number of well

known works including this one.

The print shown is embossed.

Here is an image of a portion of the back of the print to show some

of the indented portions of the image thus creating more a

painted look.



Surreal Art

There are many who create surreal art, but is the art of their own imagination or are they borrowing from others. Some even create art that looks like works by Dali, they add Dali's name and other things related to Dali to the keywords of posts etc., to try and draw the public to images that they then "imply" are by the hand of Salvador Dali. It is important that when you are looking at surreal art and surrealism, to make sure you are clear as to what artists you are looking at, I recently had an email come in from someone asking, "What is the title of this Dali painting?" My reply was very simple... "That is not a Dali painting"

Here is the best known of all Dali works:

The Persistence of Memory

Why are people investing in art?

Despite the economic crisis, the art market does not stop breaking records. Since 2008, eleven of the twenty most expensive art purchases have taken place. Less than a week after the sale of Munch’s The Scream ($120m), Orange, Red, Yellow by Marc Rothko sold for $87m.

Several economists assert that art is not the best way to invest. Artwork resale can be extremely complicated because few artists keep the same value on the art market over the years. Moreover, the world of art is unpredictable, and valuing an artwork is not an easy task: it is subjective, although guiding criteria do exist. Sergey Skaterschikov published a report on art investment proving that no artwork purchased for $30m has ever consequently made a profit.

The Times of India concludes that wealthy people buy art to show off.
