Here is your Art lesson for today:

|
Why does Dolly/Dali have such a goofy name?
|
| As a puppy, Dustmop Dolly/Dali's coiled tail was a round cinnamon roll! |
 |
 |
- Cinnamon Roll
- (freshly baked)
|
- Dali's tail
- (age 5 months)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As her hair grew longer, the cinnamon roll began to spin like an Astro-physical nebula, eventually becoming unrecognizable. The cinnamon roll disappeared!
|
 |

Sometimes the Dali tail reappears in the guise of a moustache appended to a disappearing face. Salvador Dali would have declared this photograph to be a newly-found ingenious manifestation of a rare Paranoiac Face. |
- Above: Dolly/Dali's Paranoiac Face.
- If you don't see the paranoiac face, please study this photograph a while longer.
- (Hint: The Paranoiac Face has a white moustache.)

Sometimes, the Dali tail reappears as a real tail with a graceful fan shape elegantly waved by a happy Dali. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Therefore: In honor of her Magical Disappearing Astro-Physical Cinnamon-Roll tail,
- we decided to spell her name "Dali" on some occasions to celebrate the famous moustache and disappearing Paranoiac images painted by the Surrealist painter Salvador Dali.
|
|
|
Dolly/Dali has successfully combined the Art styles of DADA, Cubism, and Surrealism.
|
|
- She is a Readymade work of art, featuring a splendid example of Cubist Simultaneity.
- Picasso would applaud Dolly/Dali's perfectly-divided face. Compare her "simultaneous" frontal and profile images to portraits painted by Picasso (for example, this Girl Before a Mirror detail).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- This example of
- simultaneity
- was painted
- by Picasso
|
 |
 |
- This example of
- simultaneity
- is the amazing
- Readymade Dolly/Dali
|
- Now you can see the two of them,
- simultaneously looking at each other while
- looking out toward us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You might ask, "What's a Readymade?"
- Well, Dolly/Dali's a Readymade Dustmop, but that's an entirely different Art History lesson.
- To prepare for it, you should read about Marcel Duchamp and the DADA movement. Come back later for your next lesson.
