Ants, Genitalia, Chinese Art & the Rockefellers

Had a very cultural weekend went to the MoMa on Saturday and to the Rockefeller Estate on Sunday.

Things I learned about Dali at the MoMa on Saturday:

1. His main passion was film
2. His drawings and paintings were mostly used to conceptualize ideas for his films
3. He liked ants 
4. He liked ants crawling out of body parts (esp. hands)
5. He liked to paint/draw things out of genitalia
6. He was into guys on bikes with orbs/rocks on their heads
7. He must have taken many hallucinogenic drugs

Things I learned about the Rockefellers:

1. Ridiculously Rich
2. Liked to golf
3. Collected lots of Chinese Art
4. Enjoyed Tiffany glass
5. The senior Rockefellers where strict baptists and didn't party AT ALL!
6. Grandson (Nelson) changes the whole not partying thing
7. Had lots of money and time to make tree branches grow up (not to the sides) in order to preserve the views of the hudson.
