Picasso and Dali aren't comparable. They have nothing in common. To unilaterally declare that they are comparable is foolish and pretty arrogant.

Dali was like a range rover designer/machinist selling at mcdonalds. kinda like vinnie colauita. excellent but overtly purile and commercial. now its okay. cause i had 40 years to get over the overkill.

@chandru1103 and you think you are smarter and humble?

Makes no difference...............All of the artists of their era were the greatest to come down the pike. They all contributed and influenced many aspiring painters, one way or the other. I liked Dali when I was in school mainly because of his outragous behavior and Surrealist images. Picasso had a great way with color and forms. Tanguy, magnificent, Modigliani, fantastic, I never criticize as I am only an amoeba on the artistc plateau compaired to these masters.

"Catalan painters like picasso..." Get outta here, Picasso was andalucian not catalan!!

I think I am a natural cubist

Picasso influenced every artist living today, that doesn't mean the works are comparable. No single artists work is "comparable" to another...they are individual visions and may sit somewhere within art history with close ties, but making a venn diagram and comparing artists is foolish.

@chandru1103 Just because you had a Dali’s greatest hits picture book in your college dorm does not a modern art expert make, and the fact that 18 people agree is really quit sad. You don’t have to like Picasso or his work, but to deny his influence on Dali, throughout his life, is well foolish and pretty arrogant.

@flemwad18 I think you both mean ignorant, but I see where you're both coming from.
