Salvador Dali- Was he on the right path? * 1
    #10123721 - 04/07/09 02:45 PM (14 years, 11 months ago)

What do you all think of Salvador Dali?  Was his art all random?  I find him interesting and I think the surreal movement has created more open minded film making!

:omgawesome:  Surrealism is pretty funny when you think about it, but it seems to fit with the absurdity of life- people take themselves way too seriously sometimes!!

He just croaked back in the 90s ,I have several of his signed lithographs.....the magic unicorn,the angel or sum shit and the one that looks like a bunch of blocks ,but if you stand way back from it ,it is abe lincon.

Paid about 3 thousand a piece for them back in the 80s before he croaked ,they are worth alot more now.

Some of his paintings are pretty incredible.I dont ever want to get rid of them.

he said he never did drugs... that's incredibly hard to believe. I'm sure he did psychedelics at some point in his life.

Holy shit ,I just went and looked online ......there might be a new zo6 vette in my future.

The ones I have are personally signed and numbered in pencil ,those are the most exspensive ones ..other than the originals. ..one is 127 of 300 ,the others are deep in storage ,but they are hand signed and numbered too,limited editions of 300.
These things must have went WAY up in value when he died.
I just ran across the authenticity verifications the other day is the only reason I even remebered them now.

Some of his art looks like a DMT trip on canvas.He was definatly out there.

You don't have to take drugs to be creative. In fact, I don't think drugs make you anymore creative than you would otherwise be. I do believe they can awake some of the latent creativity you already possess.

I moreso think that they all just awaken the unconscious a little more, as the self is put more on the back burner. I love spinning pictures in my mind, but they never seem to have that "merge/kaleidoscope" quality sober.

while his art was amazing, his politics left a lot to be desired. essentially, he supported Franco because he thought he was more stylish than other political leaders in Spain.

i'm sorry, but you can't separate art and life like that.

"I don't do drugs, I am drugs"- Salvador Dali




:lol: this is funny because as i was reading the beginning of your OP i was thinking about posting this quote... but you beat me to it!
Anyways, i went to an exhibit of his last summer. I had smoked before with a friend (of course i had to!!) and when i was lookin at all of his work that was there, there seemed to be this amazing subtle reoccurring theme in all his photos. i can't really explain it too well, but when i was there it all just made sense.

it was the best exhibit i've been to so far.. though i am going to an andy warhol exhibit this weekend, should be fun :super:

well he said he tried weed and didn't like it.

and then he said the rest of the band looked down on him for not doing acid.

read this in his autobiography.

yeah some people see what we aim to without them.
the greatest thing about these people, is that they have no problem with us wanting to see. and usually help us see, they help with all forms of art.

some weeeeird coincidental shit..

I was researching interesting portrait artists today and somehow came to the Dali wikipedia page.

The whole thing with Dali on Franco and all his other politics, it seems like he was always just saying things that weren't necessarily what he believed.

I'll probably be looking into this a bit more.

i think the real question is:

why does it matter to some of you that he did drugs or not? does the art speak more to you if he was on drugs? if so, why? if not, why?

that's kind of my point, though. Dali was such a surrealist/dadaist/post-structuralist (before there were post-structuralists) that he fucked around with meaning a lot. this is fine and well, and imo an important thing to do to show how difference constructs meaning all around us. however, Franco was a real facist, and a real murderer, and imo necessitated a real response - not what essentially amounted to public support.

ah, good ideas.

I dont know, I guess there will always be someone who is less serious than ourselves.

Maybe he really didn't find what people thought of his stance on it important.

Maybe it was a crazy publicity stunt!

It shouldn't matter at all. I think trying to make something artistic just about drugs cheapens it anyway.
