    what a weird moment in tv history. the baseball guy looks fairly modern, the host very 70’s, that lady like victorian times and dali, well like dali, almost mythical. the interaction is like the one between those times where generational gap is an understatement, more like what would happen if you could time travel and how would people from different periods react to one another. and dali is the time traveler who brings about all that commotion. very precious footage indeed.

      Yes and no: Dick Cavett is certainly a man of his time: a north american (as it happens to be, but that's not the point) clueless about the personality in front of him. But Dalí plays in another league, he is a universal figure (like Picasso). He represents the human being in a raw form; what a human being can (and probably should) aim to achieve: expressing himself, without the restraints of the current society. He would always feel out of place no matter when or where you would put him. A person who doesn't bend to the conventions of any current time, not letting others interfere with his expression of the self, with a sense of originality, and very rare talent. A person whose life and works trascend space and time: any human being, any time, and any place could (if sensible enough) and maybe should (if brave enough) be able to appreciate it, so its timeless and universal.

  • @ahambrahmasmi108
    @ahambrahmasmi108 4 роки тому +360

    Dali was painfully self aware and a complete introvert. His outward "strangeness" is his defense mechanism. The creation of the public Dali allows him to communicate on his terms, and provides a vehicle for his surrealist tendencies to manifest as a person. The genius of his painting and art speak for itself. The rest is a wonderful expression of an artist mocking the inability of the everyday person to grasp the unfathomable focus and spontaneity required to create at such a high level.

    • @Jarkore
      @Jarkore 4 роки тому +31

      No. It is very well known among those with even the most negligible interest in the arts, especially in Spain, that Dali was nothing but pure show, orchestrated as he himself points out in this interview by none other than his own wife, Gala. She did the same with a now unknown poet which she was married to prior to Dali, so one should have expected that turn of events when they started seeing each other. This can be seen in Dali's trajectory, how he acted when the cameras weren't rolling, and how he even had some predetermined performances to roll out for journalists that wanted to interview him, visitors, etc.
      The creation of the public Dali is nothing but a massive PR movement to create a mythology around an otherwise pretty mediocre artist. This of course ended up in Dali flip-flopping ideologically, dependent on what state was to sponsor him at the time. You can also see the disdain for his own works, as near to the death of his life, he signed massive amounts of papers, canvases and such in order for his studio to keep manufacturing artistic commodities even after his death, which nowadays makes the identification of newly discovered Dali works almost impossible.
      It's about time we start meeting our supposed idols, I think.

    I met Dali once and I was actually painting at the time (yeah I know ... I was devastated when he walked in). He told me I'd got the green on the slate tiles on the roof of the church perfect. I told him it'd taken me almost an hour to get the right mix of green, yellow and blue. He seemed impressed.

    "Surrealism" is as much imagery in 2D as it can be in behavior. It is a concept represented in many forms. If you comprehend the concept you will recognize how deliberate and calculated Dali's behavior is. He is expressing surrealism in a performance. He staged many events. He understood the concept so well he could depict it during his public appearances.

      Not to say he wasn't a monumental weirdo and wonderfully imaginative, but this whole public persona was, well, an act. I remember once I heard a radio interview he'd done about the 70s, in Catalan, and he sounded "normal", regular voice, not even talking all that crazy. People who knew him well say he was a different man when standing in front of a camera.
      Still, in this "interview" with Cavett he's cranking the madness up to eleven. ua-cam.com/video/pMbncc0h8bk/v-deo.html Here he's still eccentric and all, but conversational and reasonable. And he has terrific insights too.

American television (Hollywood) has always been tough on foreign language speakers to reduce their accents and making it American Standard Accent. Dali gave them a lesson in the 1970s. And He spoke more than 4 languages.

Incredibly heavy accent, manic statements, an anteater, one-sided conversation driven by a genius artist. One side of the stage completely out of control & surreal balanced only by an incredibly composed wonderful baseball player and early 1900's movie star.
