Salvador Dali: The Enigmatic Nature Of The Surrealism Genius

[@dreamswithindreams]

May all good art of the world be preserved for future generations. Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bajoobiecuzican]

This helped me to better understand Dali’s eccentricities. Thank you 💕

[@Billart]

Filled in facets I wasn’t previously aware of that are ever more crucial these days into grasping the enormity what we have been missing in the dumbed down NYC art world ever since. So this is all quite useful how he could always take things further into the stratosphere & beyond with extreme Wit & talent coupled to extraordinary intelligence.

[@x.x..x.x]

You sir, strike me as someone who enjoys hearing yourself speak.

[@mikeluke7417]

He is still one of the great enigmas of modern times. Infuriating, unthinking,funny and beyond doubt a absolutely incredible painter and designer of the bizarre fashion. He always has fascinated me.❤

[@danielartist123]

Wonderful Segment!.

[@jonathanbeck8724]

There are some good, insightful documentaries about Dali but this is not one of them. The director basically uses Dali to plug bits of videos he directed for bands in the 1980s - WTF?

[@kevinabate6056]

@19:13 Might as well have been the whole documentary.

[@alexspareone3872]

In my opinion Bond is far too full of himself...its less about Dali than himself pompously prating. And why the music from the Ipcress File...its not a spy movie is it? The doc itself is full of TV cliches like the fake arrivals...in which sense it is about as far from Dalis spirit as possible.

[@dedskin1]

Indeed , making a lemonade from the lemon . A 20-40 year old lemon that is , its a bad lemonade . But you know , when making a documentary about something as fresh as Dali , its very hard . Compare it with todays talking head documentary's and videos, its still better then that , but worse then things before it

[@TheJojoaruba52]

Eccentric artists making films about themselves…egos or art? Dali was a crazy genius, not sure about the sycophantic people riding his coat tails.

Very Cool! Absurdly Cool! Cooly Cool! That moment will never return, and yet, it is with us always. Cool!

Send 2,000 priests on bicycles to ride over his grave! And film it! Then throw the film into the Pacific Ocean, and walk away, having forgotten EVERYTHING.

[@Thesecondcomingpodcast]

What’s funny to me is the fact that there is no enigmatic genius artists anymore because it is impossible to become popular at anything without money. The Internet has killed art

[@jon780249]

A film in which you learn precious little about Dali but a great deal about sycophancy.

[@oldgit4260]

We'll never see the like of Dali again, everything is so controlled and pc now its pathetic

[@raycochrane3971]

The movie of a director bathing in the fading light of his association with an artist. The affectations of the film's premise and editing are weak attempts at being as controversial, provocative and well drafted as the artist's work often were. All the while papering over any accusations of the film maker's amorality, or worse, by occasionally referring to the Dali's failures as a human being but not exploring them beyond the a vague conversational sophistry. Amazing artist but an Ayn Rand of a human being.

[@alexspareone3872]

You need to bypass the man and look at his paintings in the flesh. Compare them to any Renaissance artist. His technique was as good.

[@monocerotis6917]

I've seen Dali's paintings, the ones in the Paris museum, the absolutely unimaginably well painted, partly, contrasts, light, color combinations, but the absolute unique ones aren't there a single brush stroke in his paintings?

[@Helelsonofdawn]

the more brush strokes the more passion-dali also dali: smooth is the best surface

[@rodkirkbride2230]

Because he didn't paint them. His fisherman friend did. Salute Dali. The only man to defraud the art world and himself at the same time.

[@raineterno8370]

Nice art documentary, but a pity & shame KZbin has to monetize the $hit out of it. Fuck'n commercials are annoying & $hitty distraction in trying to enjoy the content. But, I guess it's so fitting since Dali was such a Capitalist at melted heart. 😕💰🎨

Dali WAS surreal

[@NathanTimms-mf5gz]

He is a genius and after he has shown already what a brilliant artist he is he can talk in riddles be the joker and only art can portray the dream world which aithough he really is closer to Jung he can lead people down the freudian interpretation of morpheus never ending path and confuse and lose public there! Plus let's face it he is a genius comedian and despite his dictatorial fascist type personality persona he does not take himself and art world too seriously

6 mins in and this is all about a boring old film maker so far....I came for Dali.

[@Poemsapennyeach]

Without Gala, Dali could not survive. She was his deep love and security. SHE also, was the business woman behind them as a team. Typical male airbrushing...she gets no credit for her part in this Dali story...No excuse for this. I learned nothing new from this brief docu. at all...and abhor its sycophantic bowing and scrapings... and omissions.

One can not make up one's mind, who is more pretentious: absolutely deranged Dali, or those intellectual ship-wrecks praising him ? Come to think of it, they both deserve each other. There is nothing that one single day of a hard honest work, could not cure this deliberate madness.
