Dali and Renoir can delight our brains
Great imaginative art can cool our brow as the old folks might say. Lord, that DAWGS-LSU thing. After having all kinds of emotional shaking-ups from the rugged UGA-LSU game I decided to go off on one of my art hang-ups late today. I studied a fine Renoir print of mine and got so relaxed losing myself in the rather shimmering colors. But then I dove into the explosive art wild man, Salvador Dali. He has a way of sending us regular people off into a completely different realm from that of the wee bit traditional fella, M. Renoir. Dali was quite eccentric and so "cool" and crafty. He delved into strange dream-like art works that seduced people because of their intensely fantasy-oriented flavor. His "surrealism" conception as an intrinsic factor in his painting drew many legions of fans with its somewhat odd fantasy-prone escalating edgy strength that was so prevalent in a number of his works. His strange paintings have brought many unique art enthusiasts to talking over the years. It is obvious our good friend Renoir with his delightful colors and charming people can enchant but then one must remember that the mystery man, Dali, can also fascinate people because of his sweeping so "mod" style. His works, "Persistence of Memory" and "The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus" are exciting, mind-blasting explosions of vintage art modernism that must be applauded as strongly as possible. To sum up: The Lord Bless the great Renoir but also remember the grand "surreal" man from Spain, the one and only Salvador Dali.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
