@@tomallen5837 the interview is from 1955 -- the use of "gay" meaning same sex relationships only began to be commonly used outside the gay community in the mid '60s...

"In 1950, the earliest reference found to date for the word gay as a self-described name for homosexuals came from Alfred A. Gross, executive secretary for the George W. Henry Foundation, who said in the June 1950 issue of SIR magazine: "I have yet to meet a happy homosexual." I agree with you now and I don't pretend to have this knowledge about the term. gay was definitely around the 50s although it was underground, although I don't think he was using the term as an outward reference to homosexuality, you're right, but the dates are there it was the early fifties in the states, Finnegan he is an artist. Doing some more research here, the term gay with homosexual correlations actually goes back to the late 1800s. Look it up. Who knew, lol.

​@@tomallen5837 Clearly you didn't pay any attention to the context of his statement, which followed an extended discussion about the sad, melancholic mood of contemporaneous art, the gloomy ("dirty") colors, etc. & Dali said outright, I don't understand this melancholy that they portray, because to me there's nothing more gay than... etc. It's obvious from the whole context, & even from the statement itself, that he meant it in the traditional connotation of 'cheerful, happy', nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuality. Dali's English usage was traditional, not street slang that would have been ahead of its time in the mid-1950s.

I come from the same city as Dali, and am a big fan of Frank Herbert’s Dune. One of the greatest science fiction books.

The importance of artists like Picasso, Dali, and other "old boys" lies in their significant impact on art and society, rather than the skills and "how to" knowledge of today's artists. Art has always played a crucial role in shaping society and preserving its collective memory. Artists serve as cultural ambassadors, educating us about our history and expressing universal emotions. Art provides historical context, leads to healthy and thoughtful cultural discussions, and acts as a barometer that measures levels of cultural sophistication. When Dali and Picasso were alive, the only thing people could see was their art, their finished product, not the "how to" process. What we see today (especially with and through KZread), is the deconstruction of the creative process, often described as another process itself (in music making even randomization now has been algorithmically standardized, while back in the days was just called or described as inspiration). In today's ages, art is deconstructed to the point that all we see is the structure behind the manufact, structure that deprives the piece of art of all its mystery and powerful significance.

He obviously didn't acquire his English in America. The way he pronounces it phonetically, exactly as a native Spaniard/Catalan would when having learnt it from reading - as opposed to from hearing it - is the biggest giveaway. Whilst native speakers acquire the language by hearing it - then learn to read it and write it - until very recently, learners of a new language had no access to the spoken language so they had to acquire it primarily from written sources. When speakers of other languages learn English from books, and in the absence of a spoken language source, they'll internally pronounce letters reproducing how they sound in their native language. Quick example: see how Dali pronounces the word _remain_ . In both Catalan and Spanish, the letter "e" is pronounced roughly as _eh_ ; it's evident that he learnt that word by reading it as he pronounces the catalan/spanish sound that corresponds to the written letter "e". Continuing with the word _remain_ , he also pronounces the letters "a" and "i" with the sounds that those letters have in his native Catalan and Spanish ( _ah_ for "a" and _ee_ for "i"). As an aside, it's been universally agreed that the Latin alphabet - devised for the Latin language - was never a good fit for English. Unlike more phonetic languages, such as Spanish or Catalan, where each letter corresponds to (roughly) the same sound, in English there's not such certainty when it comes to spelling.

It helps tell the story to my children, and I can display to them my love of say, Terry Gilliam or perhaps even the author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Eco and many more.

The closed caption is as surreal and fluently as Dali himself: "Mr. Darling, we're going to talk in English... " 😊 It reminds me of Blackadder actually.

Dalíniano en español. Viva Dalí. Due to his love for life he must be in heaven, en mí opinión.

Dali was just the GOAT!

We're within the time of Dali's approach to what he calls Nuclear Mysticism, which he seemed so exited about, maybe as close to touching what started this All. Yes definitely a futurist, for the age of looking into the crystal ball of awareness, though he had to be centered in the Now to get anything done other than talking about his mustache waxing and waning. It's been noted that many ideas he procured had their infancy from the "nut house" !

Do tou know when you listen a good music and get a goosebumps?! I got it when I saw his exhibition arts , painting and sculptures . Incredible filling.

Just saying … I had a puppy and called him “Salvador”. My husband and I live in Cuenca,Ecuador . After 10 days my husband said we were returning to Nevada and it would be impossible to bring Salvador so I found a new home for him. 😢

Hello Dali!

“Atomic and Nuclear Mysticism!” 😇 I’m sure that was part of what shocked audiences back in 1955, after Hiroshima in 1945, and when people were still doing the “Duck and Cover Drills” in the 50’s. “Nuclear Mysticism” introduced a whole new perspective. Interesting to hear how his interest in nuclear and atomic research was to influence his “future” paintings. --and with one swipe of our phones we can see All that he painted- now that feels Surreal.

Was that Malcolm Muggeridge interviewing Dali? How happy I am to watch this. "Molecular Dali". The thing is, his paintings were so surreal, visionary but so well painted, however wacko the scene. Each one, a still from a dream.
