Finding Lobster Telephone on a Beach

Today January 23, 2014 is 25th Death Anniversary of Salvador Dali

Robert Mankoff, January 11 2014:

"There’s a René Magritte retrospective at MOMA called “The Mystery of the Ordinary,” which covers the artist’s work from 1926 to 1938, the golden era of surrealism, during which Magritte and Salvador Dalí helped establish that art form in the public mind. And, in the public’s mind, at least as reflected in the mind of New Yorker cartoonists, that art form was anything but ordinary, and begged to be spoofed."
