ART: "Unmasking a Surreal Egotist"

* Unmasking a Surreal Egotist. Dali is one of my favorite artists. One of my dreams is to visit the Dali museum in his hometown. (I think there is one. I saw it on TV. Probably on the Travel channel or Discovery). And I'd like to visit the Guggenheim in Bilbao while I'm in Spain.

* In other Art news, a 4 year old girl is captivating the art world with her "Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky" like paintings. WOW. She's only 4. I'll admit that I'm a little skeptical about a 4-year-old art prodigy. However, I know little about the art world, and about art itself, so I'm no expert. I wonder if there are other cases of gifted young artists, and are they really gifted? Maybe her father is a little too enthusiastic about helping his child, heh? I don't know. I need more proof that her paintings are truly her own work and one out of her desire to paint, not because her father gives her a little nudge now and then.
