Don't let his showmanship and humor fool you into believing Dali was silly or lightweight. His painting craftsmanship was on par with the great masters. He laboured tirelessly on his most ambitious works. A genius who understood and wrote about the emerging field of quantum mechanics and applied its magic to his art.
Never silly or lightweight. This man's mind, far beyond. His work is where I learned you could use your art to change a person's thinking, which can change the world really, a little bit at a time.

"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.

We do not have interviews like this anymore. Such a good frame and good questions. We’ve lost our bright, new, individual, and singular folks able to articulate and have a historical sense of their person and work.
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 TH-cam), 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 made language universal. There are so many similarities in the words that people can understand. what he’s saying, once you’ve learned English and Spanish

I love seeing these archived interviews of these amazing people. Salvador Dali was such a fantastic artist. His English actually isn't that bad, since he was in America for quite a while, if I recall. My aunt on my mom's side, who is an artist herself, has a signed Dali painting, however, I can't recall if it's a replica or not. 🎨
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.
@@Basauri_48970 "He obviously didn't acquire his English in America. " On/off, everything/nothing, full/empty... It is quite clear that he acquired SOME of his English skills by reading, some by hearing it, and a lot by speaking with native English speakers and correcting his mistakes.

@@SplendidFellow let me look. brb it was online though. one sec... Update: I watched it on Hulu... earlier this month. I just checked it's still there now.
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" !
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.
Now as we speak 5 months ago with still only as many as 1,115 views in this these very important ages caught between the ages of existential humanism and the revelations of self-fulfilling prophecy.
“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.
Despite being brilliant in His own right, the way Dali mocked and exploited the art "Establishment" is genius. It was all smoke and mirrors and $ by this point anyway.
He speaks like one Hatori Hanzo (what if the bride took the wrong plane and got some toledan steel for her troubles). He is so unreal, so self invented, truth and appearance and fiction are merged in him.
Ha. He was so whimsical. I’m sure he thought most artists paintings were sad and melancholy. Tbh. I see that in most adults. The world kicks in em the teeth, they grow up and are on guard and stoic going forward. Gotta brush that crap off your shoulders and laugh. I bet he hung out with ppl half his age.
People seem to associate melancholy with depth of personality, burden empathy as a way to safely connect. Can't we agree on the pain and move onto something a bit more enjoyable?
And there you have it. The Maestro has spoken. Nuclear mysticism it is, from here on out... or in. Or both. Dali did not live long enough to discover the wonders of computational mysticism. More's the pity.
There's nothing "shocking" about this interview, just Dali as himself
Yeah, click bait I suppose
I thought we might hear about something else. Did you know that Dali had a lot in common with Louis CK?

Not unusual. Many bright people are able to do this.
I agree with you100%. Even-though English is my first language, I speak fluent Spanish. His is English is as good and better than Natives.these days.
That's because he uses words which were taken in English from French, or other Romance languages, which he has great command of.

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.
Anyone that enjoys Dali should look into an animated collaboration he made with Walt Disney titled "Destino".
Hello Dali!
Shocking??? Wtf is shocking in this interview??? Even Dali is very good behaving :)
I salute dali sir ❤🎉thank you
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Despite being brilliant in His own right, the way Dali mocked and exploited the art "Establishment" is genius.
It was all smoke and mirrors and $ by this point anyway.
This man was constantly paranoid. He was in dreadful fear that he will accidentaly stab himself in the eye if he made the wrong facial expression.
He speaks like one Hatori Hanzo (what if the bride took the wrong plane and got some toledan steel for her troubles). He is so unreal, so self invented, truth and appearance and fiction are merged in him.
I remember that guy, from Samurai Showdown video game
Shocking how.
Ha. He was so whimsical. I’m sure he thought most artists paintings were sad and melancholy. Tbh. I see that in most adults. The world kicks in em the teeth, they grow up and are on guard and stoic going forward. Gotta brush that crap off your shoulders and laugh. I bet he hung out with ppl half his age.
People seem to associate melancholy with depth of personality, burden empathy as a way to safely connect. Can't we agree on the pain and move onto something a bit more enjoyable?
E quando nasce un altro Dalì?
He put out a little picture book, "Dali's Mustache".
Ponder how he made himself his largest surreal presentation.
Aggressive creative explosion
A little piss of my Ida's!
Ah yes......genius 😊
Dunno what to say after watching this, puzzled to find out exactly everything he was attempting to get across.
Interesting
Looking at his eyes, Dali looks like he’s trolling somewhat
My sister has an original lithograph of his. All i know is that my brother in law paid a lot of money for it 25 years ago.
Mine is always up in the morning too. No need to wax! Nothing shocking there.
Heckuva artist,had a pretty good backhand for the ladies too. Ahead of his time 😅
Anyone got a link for Hungarian wax?
Is that Malcomb Muggeridge?
And there you have it. The Maestro has spoken. Nuclear mysticism it is, from here on out... or in. Or both. Dali did not live long enough to discover the wonders of computational mysticism. More's the pity.
I am here by way of the sensorium galaxy
non riesco a capire l'animale totem di cui parla! qualcuno può aiutarmi?
Cinghiale
@@luceinbattaglia9425 grazie
is the interviewer the guy from the TV episode where Monty Python defends Life of Brian?!
Yes it is and he really doesn't endear himself, just comes across as reactionary old relic.
I agree with both of you.
shocking how?
He looks like the legendary Long shoreman DJ Pancho.
Where is the shock? A unique character
Nuclear mysticism.
A Picasso portrait will look like my nose will be on my head !
Surrealism Sometimes when you're drowning ( A 2) is more than orientation ( A 1)
