A Few Things about Dali
• Dali was from a young age very enamurated with art
• Many of his works contain secual references
• He compared to many of surrealists of the time was not
  involved with communist ideas.
• Later in his life, he became a Catholic and decreed he
  had finished his work with surrealism

Sacred Monster of the Cinema in Her
Time

• Many Ideas in some of Dali’s
 physical works such as sculptures
 used contrasting ideas to draw
 emphasis.

• He added many times a sexual twist
 to an otherwise plain object or work

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Negative.
  • #4 Hannah Hoch
  • #5 In response to the technology that is evolving. He was very optimistic about the current world that they were living in. There was a new modern lifestyle that was taking over the world and he wanted to contribute to the society. He coined the term surrealism in response to the new technology that was evolving. He believed all things, including art, should be spontaneous and surprise because those are the type of things that spark imagination and innovation.Telephone, Telegraph, Cinema, Automobiles, Airplanes
  • #7 Surrealism lasted from 1924-1966Freud"Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express -- verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner -- the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern.““There is a man cut in two by the window.”Aesthetics was unimportant.
  • #8 Divisions in Chapters were where the authors had to go to sleep.A great bronze boulevard is the shortest road. Magical squares do not make good stopping places. Walk slowly and carefully; after a few hours you can see the pretty nose-bleed bush. The panorama of consumptives lights up. You can hear every footfall of the underground travelers. And yet the most ordinary silence reigns in these narrow places. A traveler stops, changing expression. Wondering, he approaches the colored bush. Without doubt he wants to pick it but all he can do is shake hands with another traveler who is covered with stolen jewels. Their eyes exchange sulphurous sounds like the murmuring of a dry moon, but a glance disperses the most wonderful meetings. No one could recognize the pale-faced travelers.
  • #9 First to bring painted art to surrealism
