Salvador Dali's exploration of the depths of the subconscious mind in his paintings and his powerful images tapped into the fantasies, dreams, fears and hallucinations of entire generations, and he should be remembered as a consummate draughtsman, and a pioneer of Surrealism. An artist who made modern art popular and accessible.
“The Persistence of Memory” is for good reason, the most celebrated surrealist canvas ever painted. Created long before his descent into self-parody, it really is the work of a crazy genius.

    It gave him something to live up to. An aspiration none of his peers had. If you look at the biographical context of notorious and prolific people who have done great things, there are a surprising number of them who have had siblings who died in childhood. It almost gives them something to strive to, to take their place of productive capacity

It's probably for the better, them becoming friends would definitely be some form of a paradox that causes a black hole to materialize on Earth.

    I can totally see why walking through bombed out cities would effect how you see the world. I remember passing by a building where a gas explosion had taken place. One portion of the wall was blown off and you could see the insides of peoples' apartments. Stuff that was supposed to be inside was now outside and I can remember how profoundly unsettling that was to me (I was only 8 or 9 at the time). I've never forgotten that sight. Choosing to paint the wold in a surreal manner makes perfect sense when the very landscape you live in is figuratively and often literally, upside down!

    I am amazed at how you were able to distill the essence of a highly complex painting by a highly complex figure into 15 minutes without 'cutting any corners'. An amazing work on an amazing work. So much ti unpack here, as the kids say. With regards to film work, I'm sure you're aware of Dali's rile in the abortive Jodorovsky's Dune project. As well as contributing design ideas, he was also slated to play the emperor. In typical Dali style he wanted an enormous paycheque but insisted on only working for one day. He did however offer to provide his own lavatory as the imperial throne (and that toilet would be worth a video on its own) I'm also fascinated with his experiments in micro sleep. That's something I do. It's weird how you can have what seems like an hour long dream experience despite only nodding off for a split second. Shows what the human brain is capable of processing. But there's so much I could ramble on about here; so I won't clutter the thread. Just hope this helps with the algorithms!

"Salvador Dalí was cast as the insane Emperor of the Universe, who lived on an artificial planet built from gold and had a robot doppelgänger - actually conceived as a way around the real Dalí’s extortionate fiscal demands for appearing in person - to keep people guessing, fearfully, which one they were dealing with. He accepted the part with apparent glee, his only demand being that the Emperor’s throne must be a toilet made from intersected dolphins, the tails forming the feet and the mouths to receive piss and shit separately. (He thought it terribly bad taste to mix the two.) Dalí then insisted that he be paid $100,000 an hour to sit on it. He also deemed it essential that we see the Emperor defecating and micturating in the film - but a body double would have to do that for him."

    Love the painting too! I personally interpret it that way: St. Anthony is tempted by several things in the painting. By the horse, because it represents honor; the golden obilisc for wealth and opulence; and the naked women, of course, represent sexual temptation. All things which are highly condemned by the catholic church. That´s why they are presented horrifying. He wants to resist the temptation.

    As a retired Art teacher, I have struggled all my life to understand Dali. None of my childhood teachers could turn the key for me, but this has led me to see that deep down, particularly in his middle life onwards, he was, like all fascist dictators, a narcissist, obsessed with self-promotion and therefore damaged fruit. Recent events in British and American politics has made us fully cognisant of leaders with narcissistic tendencies and how undesirable this can be, although in the world of art the consequences do tend to be of less damaging overall.

This was before the internet and our library didn't have any books on art, the library was full of really obsure and abstract topics like computers from the 1960s and books about 80s films.

He was not crazy, he knew very well what he was doing in his "Happenings", he was one of the first Performance-Artist. Regarding his political "views", I'm sure he did it only to provoke a reaction in people. Metamorphosis of Narcissus, Swans Reflecting Elephants, The Temptation of St. Anthony are my favorites and of course The Persistence of Memory. Masterpieces

As far as his amateur interest in science, Dali correctly predicted that, when the structure of DNA was discovered, it would be found to be spiral-shaped. A trip to the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, is an absolute must. As far as insects, I had the chance to view his creation entitled "Aphrodisiac Jacket," which was a man's suit jacket covered in small loops of material, each of which held a shot glass containing creme de menthe and a dead fly.

    We visited Dali's Museum in Figueres, Spain and the Salvador Dali's house (now museum) a few years ago. So glad to have this video as it makes me appreciate his art and the person even more. I love this channel and am so grateful for it.

    Thank you very much for an interesting video. One thing to conteplate, among numerous others, is definitely the notion of separating the work and its creator. If we keep cancelling individuals for one or several of their flaws, we will soon have nobody viewed as perfect in the contemporary sense of the word. Your video, to me, simply shows how one artist can be worthy of praise and criticism at the same time. We can admire his work, and be inspired by it, and still disagree with him in different ways.

    This was the very first painting i saw from Dali that took me down the winding rabbit hole that is Surrealism and Dada. I so happy to see this great piece of Master Art explained and fill in the holes of my understanding. If anything i never took Dali's point of view to many paintings as he would look at them as we would. thank you.

    Dali is one of my all time favorite artist, so you can imagine my excitement for this video!! So naturally, I'd have done some research on my own and already gathered up some info, but the way you transitioned to the topics so smoothly and creatively still amazes me. How you have to incorporate his speech because of how bizarre the things he said is, made me chukle a bit. It's quite an interesting video format from you :D

    @@GreatArtExplained Hahaha, that is true. But in my opinion, despite Dali being a celebrity in his lifetime and still a well-known artist name after his death, not a lot of people pay attention into the complex, thought-provoking and indeed surreal character ‘Dali’ he has created. The legendary persona might have been his most successful work of art yet :-)
