    Was Salvador Dali a fascist??
    I made a video over a year ago answering that question and I think it's important, when talking about Dali, to take this into consideration. I invite you to take a couple of minutes just to go look at that video.

      I watched your video on Dali and fascism, and thought about other artists who had, shall we say; less than stellar character or beliefs. I've heard some debate recently over whether you can still look at, read, or listen to the work of such an artist, and I think the two have to be viewed separately. Once something is put before the public, it sort of 'belongs' to the public. Many impressions may be had, but everyone who is exposed to art has an opinion of it. I love Wagner's operas for instance, but I don't think I would have loved Wagner. And the problem I see if we conjoin the art and its maker when forming some ethical determination, is that there would be very little art left if we excluded all the artists who were deeply flawed in some way.

      @@guapetina9734 Well, I'd like to think that I'm not dull. :) But, just consider all of the painters, writers, poets, musicians, etc., that ran the gamut from simply being a jerk to those in their immediate circle, to being a public ass - yet, managed to create beauty, wonder, even awe with their work. If we were to only 'like' art produced by 'nice' people, there wouldn't be much of it around. Just my opinion.

      The strange body that is on the ground is sleeping. There is a sleeping eye topped by an eyebrow that explains his urgent need to summon his memory to remember his dreams. He does not expect and does not know how old his dream is and how long it took, so his memory was insistent and time was unable to be determined.🧭🕞🕢⏱️🕤🕥🕔⏰🙃

    When I was deployed to Afghanistan I found a poster printed version of this rolled up on the ground in the desert. I hung it up next to my bunk. Always thought it was a really strange painting and was creepy to find it out there. I came here to learn what the painting is about. I still am not so sure.

      Not sure is so valuable in comprehension of such a portrait. I must add tiny 24 by 33 inches. How big is your poster? Which may have such more value considering it’s authenticity in being found. I like very much you were a soldier defending your values as an American? I presume. That’s is honorable! However the choice to join came along? Or how you came across the poster is really the thing you shouldn’t not be so sure about. It is that moment that gave value to that painting. As your reality duties leading to such a discovery. I think that should help you understand very much what it means. Comprehension is irrelevant in such moments of fate or clearly lined out!

    I never considered it to be a dream before.
    I once saw a picture or something of the Disintegration many years ago, but before I knew about this.
    The first time I ever saw the "monster" or whatever it is I thought it was a platypus.

    • @helenhagos6277
      @helenhagos6277 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Good note that is why the name is persistence of a dream not persistence of a memory, hence there is none unless the branch that is dwindling is making such memories. How do you find the disintegration helpful now that you’ve seen this image? Pladapus is good! I like it as a randomn thought. The painting kinda looks like there tails.

    During my battle with covid, I had a dream that I was a bat flying around a padded cell made of deep purple velvet. I could feel the plush padding and clung desperately on it's padding.
    To survive I had to eat the walls... the dream was in colour and felt 3D. While it was terrifying it was beautiful.
    I think both Dali and David Lynch would have liked it.

    I am still searching for any logic or reason for this painting’s fame. He probably did not even know what he is creating. Its probably his luck that made people to feel like this painting is something else. Its just a trashy thing otherwise.

      I believe that one of the factors that would explain Dali's success would be his personality which made for great content in media. Dali famously appeared in gameshows and in advertisements.
      If you're interested, I also made a video on Dali's moustache and on Dali's affinity with fascism.

      Very good trashy is right for all works! Unless you can find value in it yourself or convinced. TRASH! Very good. But contraindicating right? You say he doesn’t know what he was creating and you LOVED the analysis of the narrator who emphasizes that said Dali had hallucinations of inspiration and of dreams. That helped inspire this vision made. I think the most valuable things are trash as another mans gold they say.

    • @helenhagos6277
      @helenhagos6277 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi wow! Very interesting. If you say the cliff is decayed what do you make of the rest of the background? Keep in mind the foreground as you describe is a usual artist approach in identifying land marks of firstly or immediately to the background as you say. So I ask you instead of curious enough in addition to that very valuable observation to ask yourself is it is decaying you see as immediate as reflected in the back as you say the mountain is decaying? Or of a clue that act as landmarks across the image of between decay? Showing you opportunities of what? Or opposite of not with? Or different approaches in how you correlate front left to far back right? I think that question is more suited to your insight.

    Please! Note that the times are the same 6 on two clocks and the clock splitting in half is 5 till 6! Surreal is a great type of genre you would say for this art piece because frankly it’s not notable to that time era. As vivid it is verifies the surrealism. Clearly as validation that is surreal. Hence arguable because Frued was not big on dreams that was of Carl’s Young great contribution. You know looking at the black and white blobs to reveal what the patient is thinking, as well as dream interpretations. Frueds work if truly needed to be used for inspiration of this piece I would suggest instead that infamous photograph of him holding his pocket watch. I urge you as I’ve mentioned in the first sentence of the comment is that time is 6:00 6:00 and 5:55 as 5 until 6:00PM. Freud’s biggest contribution is of that photo of him and pocket watch. I urge you to check the time of that clock he holds standing there so unmovable. As photos often reveal as still and fixed unmovable. As well as his work yes, most notable for me is showing MUCH affection when his daughter eats strawberry shortcake. Indicating her need for approval and adoration. These are Freud’s notable contributions to this paintings inspiration if again the surreal era correlate with Freud’s dream works timeline as such inspiration.

    Personal interpretation is also important to acknowledge. I don't care about whether or not he was a fascist. It doesn't matter to me. The concept of memory and time are more important and intimate to me. Like memory degradation.
    You mentioned "in a dream those concepts [time and memory] are flexible making us lose grip on reality."
    Now apply the concept of dementia. It is as if consciously you are operating in a dreamlike state to where there is no segmentation between time and memory, but mentally one tries their hardest to grip the concepts as they once did when they were younger. Faces of loved ones become hollowed fragments of what once was without any recognition as to who they were or who they are now. Actions conducted are shortly forgotten and one slowly or rapidly (depending on the rate of mental degradation) slips into madness.
    One thing that is certain is that their will to continue to fight for some semblance of their reality and memorization will falter. They will give up the fight at some point and it is by far the hardest thing to witness.
    So, my personal interpretation of this piece goes a bit further than his original interpretation and influences for creating this piece.
