Salvador Dalí: A Master of the Modern Era. MIKOS ARTS - A Documentary for educational purposes only

[@monstrotto]

*When Dali met someone or talked with a close friend who asked him what a painting or work of art meant or what each figure/symbol represented he would simply ask them: "What do you think it means?" They would then give an explanation to each one or to the whole painting and he would act/pretend to be absolutely amazed!!...he would then say "No one has ever really seen my painting for what it was like I have.. but that is correct! But don't tell anyone, between you and me..." He would say this to each person no matter the explanation given.... Because that's Surrealism... What an awesome guy*

[@FlanzShirt]

40:52 The first person to adequately describe art in the whole documentary, and of any art documentary

[@33iknow]

+Flanz Shirt Good catch!

[@hamfood9658]

Haha, that guy was awesome :) didn't try to sound impressive or witty; just humble and happy!

[@grantshalks7338]

Seen 'em all have you ...?

[@wegotonelove]

Already noticing the first guy has no idea how Dali's mind works

[@Soorowah]

Dali is the main reason why I love art, why I do art, and why I study art. Without him, I would probably be studying something I don't like without knowing what I really like.

[@avalanche9026]

This dude was one weard man. Yet a genius they say.. Incredibil mustache

[@charliewrites]

this is an excellent presentation..I am in a Dali revival mode and the man was simply amazing..The art worlds first performance artist/painter.Thank you for this

[@AndyArtistic18]

Pure brilliance. Throughly enjoyed this doc film. Well crafted. Dali rocks!

[@pamelaknowlton443]

Thank you so much for this! Dali is my absolute favorite, I simply adore him. I home school my three children and I insist on educating them in the arts of all mediums and this is a perfect accessory to my lesson.

[@MIKOSarts]

+Pamela Knowlton Dali is great! Glad you enjoyed the show, and it's awesome too that you expose your kids to the arts :) -MIKOS

[@mycreativepowerhouse]

I'm not Pamela, but people homeschool for as many different reasons as people who put their kids in private schools or public schools. Perhaps the local school isn't very good or the child has a learning disability and needs extra lessons or it's a choice based on religion because of the current political climate or just because the parent can do a better job of it. Often, also, the child is gifted and the school has nothing to offer them. Or is a traveling talent: actor, dancer, musician.

[@CarmenBelcher]

Outstanding! I smiled the entire way through. Dali tickles me so 🤗

[@marieblue]

About Salvador Dali… Among the master’s most famous quotes : “Have no fear of perfection - you’ll never reach it.” And his greatest inspiration : the psychoanalytic theories of SIGMUND FREUD❗️💙🎨💜 Always loved, never forgotten, forever missed will you remain, Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali i Domènech (1904 - 1989)…🌹

[@lucyinwonderlandart]

17:00 I absolutely love the boosh and Noel! Can't believe he's in this! Dali is amazing and I have been a fan since I was little

[@TypicalZoomer]

thank you for posting

[@DiMoNico1981Swe]

Dali lived in another dimension Art! I have seen his paintings in real life, and those are crazy !! You can not see the brush strokes on his painting! You can not see where the heck he started painting somewhere in their works? its unbelievable!!!!

[@robertsmith5744]

There is also a Salvador Dali Museum in St. Peterburg FL. Near the old pier in Tampa Bay.

[@satori03]

he is my favorite artist

[@firearms-explosives]

David Davidson hard to rate artists. There are many phenomenal artists. Jose deribera the Russian ilya repin are right up there with Dali. To quantify this seems dismissive. I can't help but feel like no one else could paint what Dali painted. And yet He seems capable of everyone else's work. In fact if you attributed any other piece of art by another artist to him It Rolf almost seems dumbed down. If he'd painted the Sistine chapel (and surely he was technically capable) it would seem like....... "Wow that's amazing. But it's missing that Dali thing." And so, for that reason ,I have to agree. He was actually the best artist I have ever seen.

[@firearms-explosives]

What the hell is with auto correct ?!! Rolfe??!!! Wtf would it suggest Rolf (and now spell it differently) instead of would? Jesus Christ it's fucking frustrating. Makes me seem like a tool and if I didn't Correct it would be complete mindless gibberish. (But not a single Prudhoe (??!!!!!) PROFANE word. Aaaarrrrfg g..... FuckFUCKFUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Gilgamesh369]

I bet you'd get a kick out of these: Dalimation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4acZWSPf5mZm5Y

[@miguelmontanez176]

The first time I seeing Dalis artwork I was confused, later in life a experimented with acid and said to myself Salvador Dali must of being on acid to pull this amazing art work. Great show 🙌

[@AngelaJonesCreates]

learned so much from this, thank you for posting. This was very interesting

[@MIKOSarts]

Angie LupusLife Your very welcome.... Dali is amazing! -Mikos

[@aydeederix8566]

MIKOS *you're.... (I'm sorry, my inner grammarnazi had to do this.)

[@aydeederix8566]

MIKOS I love the videos though^-^

[@igorsvacic217]

Dali and ppl like him are the seasoning of this world. And when talking about him directly, man, the food of life is damn spicy love him!

[@chelsielambada2949]

Dali is one of my idols of my favorite artist, He inspired me to make my dreams into reality as like throwing things freely without consequences. Thanks to Salvador Dali, the feeling that I had of designing my room into a weird dream world became more like his living room with the pillow lips, the nose for the fireplace and the photo of the eyes turned an ordinary bedroom into a life like anthropomorphic room. Truly he is like my hero of eccentricity and publicity.

[@Kevin14henrY]

*His imagination is simply insane.*

[@polyethylene6773]

Dali's showmanship was as original as his art . He was a PR master. It will last along with his paintings which are the best the 20th century has to offer.

[@molly9929]

I think his paintings was one of the best paintings in art history. But that just me. Amount of analise, structures, and many, that not everyone can see in his paintings, is outstanding.

[@molly9929]

Now when I studied more. I can say, Dali was the best painter in the art history. Artistically, and technically. Artistically can fight with him... ahh who... Maybe Picasso and Goya. Technically? No one. Ofc. He used only his hands... thats why.

[@truthseeker2156]

i dont do drugs, iam drugs - salvador dali

[@forensicdar]

This comment is dripping. ❤

[@FromHere2Where]

Love, love, love DALI !!! What a friggin' GENIUS and so talented!!!!!!

[@juliaantonova4870]

He was amazing! Our world needs more Dali's (in particular Dali, and maybe some other modern artists as well) - we would then have atomic bombs that bomb with flowers or pink gas with the smell of a lobster, we would have taxi cars with soft cloudy sits, and we would have eyes, rhinos and watches painted on walls, but not abusive words.

[@phydeauxddog]

Julia Antonova I do surrealism and had to leave college for being different

[@David-g6]

+phydeauxddog same... what kind of surrealism though?

[@juliaantonova4870]

David Davidson if your roommate belongs to a usual kind of students, and he comes back every second evening stoned or wasted, than he deserves such attitude. Plus, it's very wrong (and short-sighted) to think of surrealism only in the way you said.

[@evakaminska7048]

I cannot express how much I admire this man, absolute genuis

[@bradgotch]

She really hates that couch.

[@vainsmith]

i am happy to have sat through this. i learned plenty.

[@AJFuentes93]

Just got a book about him today! Its great. So lets all just appreciate this guy!

[@MIKOSarts]

That's awesome Chelsie... Dali is truly amazing and like the geniuses before and after him, they've inspired countless individuals everywhere. We are blessed to have their wonderful creations in this world to enjoy and enrich our imagination... :)

[@nin3755]

Thank you for uploading this ! Xx

[@tupinic]

Not that art fan but for some reason started getting interested in Dali surrealism, the double images and parallel dimensions of his paintings just fascinates me!

[@Scarlet.L.A.]

Salvador Dali... ah....one of my favorites!

[@TFdarkboy1991]

Very , very good . Thank you ... and Dali ,of course .

[@tezeu84]

[@MrZashiratori]

*It is true he's famous for the melting clocks... but go to St. Pete in FL and you should check out his Master Works.... absolutely unbelievable! Including the sight of his Abraham Lincoln piece... epic....*

[@wayneh-s2985]

Great documentary 👏

[@Wistful77]

The "paranoic delusion" of seeing faces and other forms in shapes and shadows is now known as Pareidolia, it is not thought of as only paranoia anymore. In science it is a survival mechanism we evolved with. It may be to neurotic extremes with some people, It is also known as a form of apophenia. Recent example is the "face on Mars". In abnormal apophenia, the patterns are imagined, sometimes the patterns are ominous, often associated with paranoid schizophrenia, though everyone experiences patterns in random information from time to time. In modern times it is no longer always thought to be associated with psychosis. Dali turned it into art. ;) Thank you for this great documentary! I watched the Picasso, Matisse, Warhol, Van Gogh, now Dali. This is wonderful work I missed seeing in the last ten years. The Picasso video was uploaded to KZbin in 2012. I can't believe I missed these! Okay, on with the show. Just had to remark on the suggestion of paranoid delusion in seeing faces in rocks, etc.

[@masonamador8542]

Genius, simply genius.

[@MIKOSarts]

That's awesome... Your life is much better doing what you want to do. Dali is amazing, as well so many other artists that we're all indebted to for passing on the language of art that is always in a constant flux of change..

[@helloartboy]

Magnifique. I've been following the life of Dali myself, in Cadaquez in Spain. I have a profound respect for this artist.

[@carmenschlesinger5426]

My favorite painter .. Salvador DALI -a Modern Masters

[@damayantibahar7613]

Love everything here!

[@vanessawhite8042]

"Gala contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at 20 meters becomes the portrait of Abraham Lincoln" is my favourite.

[@Peabody6517]

I like how there are interviews with contemporary artists that are inspired by the famous artists. very interesting

[@rasuperstar]

that was so inspiring to my soul thank u studying his life is surreal

[@444ltr]

Great Documentary

[@jhosetrichiardi6921]

magnifico ,genial ,unicoì

[@inxs13]

What a treat it would have been to actually know him. Amazing....

[@lynnebeck2231]

"Just throw a couple clocks in there and you've got your Dali Masterpiece" ... JEEZ

[@lisasmith2886]

Are u a boy or girl

[@ParanormalSock]

MAGNIFICENT! bien fini ich faire genieten Dali

[@salvadordahlias]

I just want a lobster telephone soooo badly...

[@leppak42088]

The narrator is superb

[@lla3155]

Well done, I enjoyed.

[@Leeohlin89]

His romantic art is my favorite ❤

[@polyethylene6773]

Dali had the three necessities of a great classical artist, skill, technique and ideas. Unlike most modern artists he could draw. Quote from “Modern art a Portrait of Mediocrity” - Amazon.com "Some artist have skill but lame ideas; some have good ideas but lack the skill to express them. Most have neither."

[@joanrias7264]

Great video, very interesting!!

[@kartiksingh7313]

I loved watching this..... I am the artist of this time

[@StillStealSteel]

good series so far

[@lomertamahon1]

The paranoiac-critical method was just a joke. Dali was doing a parody of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant's "critical method," which was in style amongst intellectuals at the time. He simply had an off-the-wall sense of humor, much like Jim Carrey today. He also once said of the German philosopher Nietzsche that he would out-Nietzschify Nietzsche with his wax mustache. Making parody of stern German culture was the fad of the day.

[@murrkimbai]

I think that trip hop tune at the end of the video is perfectly suitable ending for a movie about Salvador Dali!

[@sean57]

one of the funniest books on artists is the overly embellished, self written book, the Secret Life of Salvador Dali, when you read it, its written as if hes right in front of you, recanting his glorius memories

[@sabrinanascimento1267]

We have a Dali Museum in St Petersburg , FL.

[@deividchg]

The greatest! ❤

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

Uploaded on my 20th birthday. Neat.

[@tempemonon]

Cool gig!

[@wouter635]

Dat stukje over de vormen van rotsen is zeer interessant, als een kind naar de wereld kijken vol met nieuwsgierigheid en fantasie.

[@mr_diatribe2324]

Mighty Boosh.... Pahhh! JAM series more like! ;)

[@MIKOSarts]

Change is good, know matter how it sometimes feels daunting. Dali, Warhol, Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh ,Picasso just to name a very tiny few were all about being apart of change. You don't have to reinvent the wheel, just sometimes make it appear that it's not just the same wheel. Yes- Inspiration is such a power motivator and often is just the very thing to lift a fog too! :)

[@MultiBaynes]

That Bonobo song at 3:15 and continued later... love that song. Also really wasn't expecting it And then at 11:45

[@DanNic88]

The host completely missed the point about the 'big feet' on the ceiling Painting, they are supposed to give the illusion of standing on the ceiling. A great example of Dali's vision

[@hamfood9658]

Beautiful documentary about the master Dali, but for what it's worth - Bunuel (another master of surrealism) was the one who came up with the eye slicing scene in UN CHIEN ANDALOU. Dali's pitch was the ants crawling on the hands.

[@hochang927]

LET'S DREAM TOGETHER. LIFE SHOULD BE FUN TO LIVE.

[@ArtSFBlog]

Incredible

[@thebailey67]

The music at the start is so horrible it becomes a surreal moment making me want to jump out a window. LoL

[@antifazisbonifaz6964]

🤣🤣😂😂😁👍👍

[@kentgoodall3254]

Please help me I once watched a DALI documentary and can not remember name of it nor can I find it anywhere Only clue I can give u as it stands out so well like all DALI work is at beginning of doc there's all this water and it looks surreal amazing I just wish I could see it again it was shown on SBS tv yrs ago in Australia any help be most appreciated What an artist greatest to ever live greatest I've ever seen

[@molly9929]

He was an Tesla, but in the art world. Best artist in the art world ever. Technically? Better then Rembrandt, on the level of other masters, and in some paintings, even better. Artistically? Untouchable. Basically? He could do anything. Impressionism? Okay. Expressionism? No problem. Abstract? Hah. Any. Any kind of technic, he owned it. Here. The true divine of art. One of the fallen angels of the art, and the strongest of them. Salvador Dali!

[@perspicaciouscritic]

I watch this - Dali's immense talent; his eccentric behaviour; his uber-confidence; his courting of celebrity; his adopting other disciplines outside his pedigree to create jewellery, for example; his divisiveness - and I think: Kanye West.

[@gerardscott5815]

perspicaciouscritic Dali is an artist though. Kanye West is a wana be

[@molly9929]

Nah, Kanye West is an good artist. Both not the same. I can easliy say, that Dali was more talented. More inteligent? Maybe.

[@molly9929]

And, funny thing, most of geniuses have persona like that. When you analise lifes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Angelo, Dali, West, Freund, Einstein, Tesla, you can easliy find that they all were (and are), little narcistic, little everywhere, little eccentric, and little uber-confidence (uber? Their confidence is on point. And their ego is on point. Like. Seriously, people like West, Einstein, Tesla, Dali, artists, scientist, they are like gods to us. Who would we be without people like this? Answer is easy. Animals.).

[@a.khweter632]

you didn't just compare dali to kanye west?!! fuck us all..

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

Dali was one eccentric surrealist

[@theopaopa1]

49:44 dali about andy warhol :)

[@molly9929]

That never happend. They were working which other, ba. They were good friends/

Best moments 9:00 9:38 10:16 12:53 14:20 14:27 14:45 15:00 17:13

[@Gulfstreams]

Dali embraced Fascism though he spent WW2 in the USA, away from the horrors of war. He called Franco a friend and defended Nazis.

[@angelbofarullviladas7541]

his father was never a lawyer,he was what the french called notaire

[@thecurefan1]

The paranoid face was originally a postcard given him, by Picasso, Dali saw it, turned ir vertical, and saw what became, "The Paranoid Face".

[@jamesgeorge770]

love the DALI,world

[@carlconnor5173]

Mentioning Warhol vis-a-vis any great artist irritates me. That said, this video was very enjoyable and interesting. The man is one of the great masters. Disturbing, eccentric, showman, et al. Still one of the greatest painters in history.

[@rosyheart]

Notice the Detail upperRight It Looks like the Big Sur Coast, looking North towards Monterey, where He & Dali Lived; Memories persist...Cheers.

[@blablabla13344]

Genius.

[@georges7905]

At 20:00 : "You have to imagine a couple of melting watches and you have your Dali Masterpiece." Is that a fking insult? What the hell is he talking about?

[@jadeshannon5583]

Dali'is a genius!

[@mr_diatribe2324]

44:59 One of the first examples of an artist using a spray can??? I would love to know how old this advert is? If it was the 1970s then the kids from New York were displaying skills on trains! ;)

[@Soorowah]

I could not agree more :)

[@MTheoOA]

The greatest bio ever?

[@artgallery7376]

Lord, please have this man in Heaven too.. his so fun. Every human is so unique and precious.. but many of us living unholy. I pray for everyone. Maybe Dali is in Heaven, because he painted Jesus pieces and God says in a Bible, " You'll be surprised whos in Heaven and whos in Hell. "

[@jaywolf7428]

It's all about sanity vs insanity, maturity vs immaturity.

[@MIKOSarts]

Hi Ron. I believe the book your referring to is "50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship" by Salvador Dali. It's a very good book.

[@moniquebrown7778]

So many artist are influenced by nature, Yes GOD is the greatest artist.💜

[@rrrichard100]

Sorry... Dali wrote a book I think the title is "Thirty Seven Secrets of Master Craftsmanship" ..very interesting writing...

[@jeanpaulfelix4095]

An observation : Salvadore Daly when discussing the cauliflower is actually talking about math. fractals in fact. interesting as it now forms the basis of AI research in 2023. He was truly a genius.

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

I will soon be the next Salvador dali

[@VIVAGOKU1]

Good luck,man

[@bruceblosser384]

Luis NgchongJrArt to say you will be the next Salvador Dali you have already negated yourself from the possibility! Besides, so what if you did become the "next" Salvador Dali... how could that possibly be interesting, for you would only be a copy! But if you were an original as famous as Dali, in your own right, now that would be something! :)
