In Salvador Dalí’s home movies, the 50-year-old Surrealist artist plays with a kitten, an animal skull, and a rake to entertain a friend filming him on the terrace of his villa in Port Lligat, Costa Brava, Spain.

Dali would've had such a lovely odd KZbin channel

"The secret of my influence has always been that it remained secret" Dali

[@nycjordi]

aaaaaah! that beautiful Port Lligat... not much left these days. I still remember it (almost as in this 1950s film) when I was summering in Cadaques during my late 1960s childhood. I remember seeing Dali driving way and saluting people with his royal hand waving.

I love imagining all these beautiful subdued shades as they were seen then - how it would have looked to the eye.

[@kithraholmes6088]

I think the lack of audio actually makes this video, it makes it seem eerie and is just so reminiscent of his work ❤️

[@Felix_Li_En]

Oh my God!! What a treasure! 💖

[@TheFartriloquist]

ADORE 😆😆😆

[@haidaralhaibi4416]

Vthis place looks exactly like my village in Syria in by the Mediterranean sea. This is why I love Dali

[@ginavepa]

[@dantevahezleicaf2038]

Thank you so much for this ☺️

[@elizabethaspinall6967]

Great with the silence - surreal even! What a heroically narcissistic genius he was.

Dali ,un gran artista

In 1954, Scientists had discovered that there were stuff going on with genes and DNA without totally nailing it. In the 70's a genetics scientist dude named Dawkins came up with the concept of "meme". This Salvador guy - he kind of knew that back in the day when art was supposed to be a one-off, not copied or spread as multiples of "thing". A long time before the internet or "storage", the concept of the internet meme had already been filmed.

The painter Dali is more like an accomplished movie star

[@Nerdicaful]

Ah, yes, the secrets of Dali revealed. He was a huge dork.

[@K-FOREST_Original]

Andy Warhol, and Salvador Dali-- that's a wonderful life.

After 60 years you will show my homemade videos, wait MoMa!

Bogdan Teodorescu It’s probably old 8 mm film which sound is recorded separately if I remember correctly. I just remember my parents watching old vacation reels of their parents on an old-school film projector and there not being any sound to it either. But I agree that it is weird to watch anything these days these days without some kind of background sound. That being said what music would you put as the soundtrack for Salvador Dali? Something trippy, electronica, psychedelic, pop, or weird obscure folk music?

[@duchessjiannakoudakis375]

Ezra Miller is the greatest choice for this role and no one can't change my mind.
