For a few hours Tuesday, this Florida city was transformed into a Surrealist canvas in honor of Salvador Dali, the genre's master. A man wearing a large snail hat led a parade of drummers, who were followed by a phalanx of pirates past shimmering water and vibrant palm trees. Wild green parakeets fluttered in the air. Spanish royalty was on hand, as were several mayors, dozens of reporters and hundreds of art lovers. A number of people had attached pencil-thin Dali mustaches to their upper lips. Everyone gathered beneath a glass-and-concrete building – the new, $36-million museum that features a priceless collection of Dali's works. |
