Dali - Las Meninas

When I went to the High last week to find my painting to write an analysis on, I found a small painting at the beginning of the exhibit that caught my eye.  As it turns out, Dali idolized Diego Valezquez and Las Meninas was one of his favorite paintings by another artist.  He had painted his own portrait of one of the dwarfs in the original painting.  It was whimsical and strange, much like the rest of his work, but I was surprised to find something like that.  I also found that Dali was good friends with Andy Warhol and Duchamp, who famously placed a mustache on the Mona Lisa.  I just found it interesting.
