what a weird moment in tv history. the baseball guy looks fairly modern, the host very 70’s, that lady like victorian times and dali, well like dali, almost mythical. the interaction is like the one between those times where generational gap is an understatement, more like what would happen if you could time travel and how would people from different periods react to one another. and dali is the time traveler who brings about all that commotion. very precious footage indeed.

Yes and no: Dick Cavett is certainly a man of his time: a north american (as it happens to be, but that's not the point) clueless about the personality in front of him. But Dalí plays in another league, he is a universal figure (like Picasso). He represents the human being in a raw form; what a human being can (and probably should) aim to achieve: expressing himself, without the restraints of the current society. He would always feel out of place no matter when or where you would put him. A person who doesn't bend to the conventions of any current time, not letting others interfere with his expression of the self, with a sense of originality, and very rare talent. A person whose life and works trascend space and time: any human being, any time, and any place could (if sensible enough) and maybe should (if brave enough) be able to appreciate it, so its timeless and universal.

Dali was painfully self aware and a complete introvert. His outward "strangeness" is his defense mechanism. The creation of the public Dali allows him to communicate on his terms, and provides a vehicle for his surrealist tendencies to manifest as a person. The genius of his painting and art speak for itself. The rest is a wonderful expression of an artist mocking the inability of the everyday person to grasp the unfathomable focus and spontaneity required to create at such a high level.

@Jarkore

4 жыл бұрын

No. It is very well known among those with even the most negligible interest in the arts, especially in Spain, that Dali was nothing but pure show, orchestrated as he himself points out in this interview by none other than his own wife, Gala. She did the same with a now unknown poet which she was married to prior to Dali, so one should have expected that turn of events when they started seeing each other. This can be seen in Dali's trajectory, how he acted when the cameras weren't rolling, and how he even had some predetermined performances to roll out for journalists that wanted to interview him, visitors, etc. The creation of the public Dali is nothing but a massive PR movement to create a mythology around an otherwise pretty mediocre artist. This of course ended up in Dali flip-flopping ideologically, dependent on what state was to sponsor him at the time. You can also see the disdain for his own works, as near to the death of his life, he signed massive amounts of papers, canvases and such in order for his studio to keep manufacturing artistic commodities even after his death, which nowadays makes the identification of newly discovered Dali works almost impossible. It's about time we start meeting our supposed idols, I think.

Art is imperfection; his English is understandable, he sounds fluent, his vocabulary is enriched, it’s all about his accent… he preserved his identity on purpose, since he was a very unruled human being. American television (Hollywood) has always been tough on foreign language speakers to reduce their accents and making it American Standard Accent. Dali gave them a lesson in the 1970s. And He spoke more than 4 languages.

The fact that he threw the ant eater in an unconventional manner deserves a meme😆😆😆

I actually ran into Dali on a winter day in 1966, while on my lunch hour. I recognized him from a distance from his moustache, and as we passed each other, he handed me a card advertising his latest exhibit. My touch with greatness.

I hope the Bronx Zoo learned its lesson about lending out animals for publicity stunts.

He said the mustache is the tragic element of the human face, but to him, the mustache represents the hands of a clock ticking, so he is saying something about the nature of mortality and the human condition being inherently tragic, in an absurd way. I wish he were a bit more fluent in English to hear more of his musings.

Dali é excentrico, incentrico e concêntrico. Dali é gênio. Obrigado por disponibilizarem o vídeo.

This is my first time seeing Dali on film/video and it’s given me full appreciation for Adrien Brody’s portrayal in Midnight in Paris 🤣😃😃. 🦏 🦏🦏🦏🦏

I love how he only calls it an "eat ants"

The fine line between “cuckoo” and “art”.

What did he say about the tongue of the anteater

Man, I’m glad they’ve been posting these. I’ve really been enjoying seeing various artists I’ve loved throughout my life that are no longer with us. I went through his hometown on the train in Spain. Got to see a few of his pieces. Those were in Italy and France though. *he’s not easy to follow. You have to pay enormous attention.

Not weird enough. Should've brought a pangolin.

dino macioci you’ve lost people to the virus? I guess your name is Italian after all. Sorry man. It’s just so different than here cause I don’t even know anyone who’s had the virus. Such a strange illness.

I wonder why Adrien Brody kept saying «rhinoceros» in much eccentric manner as such, in that Woody Allen "Midnight in Paris". I hope he's not just copied he's childhood memories of this episode )

It was a regerence... and the script was written by Woody Allen. It's a typical thing to have a reference in writing... allusions...

Something about a rhinoceros I think

I love how Dalí refers to himself in the 3rd person!

When he said about his wife that she's his BEATRICE,who knows what's up ? I believe he's referring to Dante Alighieri's Beatrice from the Divina Commedia( the divine comedy....or dante's inferno does ring any bell ?)

Sometimes the proper handling of an animal can seem rough from the perspective of an outsider. I'm sure he knew what he was doing.

Diego Moreno. ı don't want to see Johnny Depp playing anything frankly. ı had enough of him.

He’s not “unusual” or a circus clown, he is an artistic genius

A panel of legends in all their fields. Fascinating.

The melting clock guy with the wacky moustache you learned about in Art History class was at one point was just a local eccentric

Wow I never been so entranced by a character, can't believe he's not acting.

The way he just throws it face first on the floor

I admire Dali all the times!. Thank you for this video. He is such a genius people and humorist... xoxo.

long time Dali fan...I always loved this interview. Rarely did you see Dick Cavett 'thrown out of sorts' and into a state where he was somewhat disoriented, off-kilter and he didnt know how to deal with Dali. Incredibly heavy accent, manic statements, an anteater, one-sided conversation driven by a genius artist. One side of the stage completely out of control & surreal balanced only by an incredibly composed wonderful baseball player and early 1900's movie star. The entire scene was a living Dali work of art.

Anteater... "Somebody help! Get me away from this guy!"

This interview gets me everytime 🤣

Amazing historical archive! Dali was one of a kind.

The way he viewed everything was startling, no such thing as an ordinary object. I like the way he is not even phased by sarcastic remarks showing that he in fact was very humble in spite of his obvious extreme eccentricity.

So basically Brody just watched this interview for preparing for midnight in Paris 😂

This is the greatest thing that has ever happened.

Dalí is was not only a surrealist painter, he was the personifaction of surrealism. Very funny!!!!😀😀😀

This is priceless.

When you are amazingly talented at anything, you can do just about anything. Crazy is expected and Dali fit the bill.

What an entrance!

Okay, eccentric is an understatement when describing Dali, but honestly he really did say some meaningful and profound things. Even though his topics were colorful and his English was muddy, he still gave some very interesting insight into his psyche. What a fascinating world that was within his mind.
