Lol, I'm looking at this painting thinking: who ripped off whom, Dalí or this guy? Turns out: Dalí.
From wikipedia: "Dalí was also influenced by the work of Yves Tanguy, and he later allegedly told Tanguy's niece, 'I pinched everything from your uncle Yves.'" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD
- ineedasername 6y agoPretty much the whole evolution of art consists of creative rip-offs of what came before.
- anonytrary 6y agoRight, at some point "being able to rip off the people who came before you and still be interesting" is what it means to be a great artist. Steal, steal, steal -- but don't copy.

- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoI'm somewhat taken by her work Tomorrow is Never, as shown in the article or, in slightly better resolution, at https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/api/collection/v1/iiif/488856/1008797/restricted https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/api/collection/v1/iiif/4... It's 97 cm x 1.36 m originally and I need to get back to the MET and see it. Also copyright in circumstances like this needs to suck a surreal clock that looks, tastes, and trains an equivocating hamster exactly as a dick does.
- pinewurst 6y agoI was very taken with this work when I saw it at the Met. It’s now the screen background on my Linux VM.
- anonytrary 6y agoI thought it was a Dali at first.
