the most surreal thing is looping 25:30 to 25:32 and try to deduce is there´s some kind of subliminal conditioning there. Also, to wonder if the interviewer was really that fast with the remark or if there was any postediting involved. Doubt he being fast though, when he couldn´t understand the term cosmogony earlier
Dali´s honesty is what made him appear so shocking in those days. I never realized that. Everything he says makes perfect sense and he's not holding back when he talks about his beliefs and perception of the world. People didn't get it, they thought his is some kind of Clown who mocks up strange things, when in fact he's just telling it like it is for him. Absolutely brilliant!
@Marvin Brando He discovered the approximate Logarithmic spirals that appear in nature, like in a cauliflower.He made a happening out of this, but people thought he is only being eccentric. He was also eccentric, but it made sense.
Everyone has a unique perspective, but most people are afraid to express anything outside of the politically-correct group-consensus. Dali wasn't afraid to voice his abstract imaginations, which are rooted in absolute Truth. Because, as a prophet of God, I know that absolute Reality is totally abstract, and the finite and specific world of our conscious perceptions is an illusory simulation that was necessitated when we temporarily lost our desire for Truth. Dali would have loved my book, because it gives the logical and rational explanation of all this, and is entirely compelling for those who are ready for this information. One must see through the matrix of this finite and specific world simulation in order to see the infinite "Forest" rather than the illusory finite "trees." I don't receive UA-cam comments notifications, but seekers will find me....
This interview with Dali by Mike Wallace is probably the best one ever conducted. He succeeded is getting Dali to explain so much that subsequent interviews never achieved for example getting Dali to talk about how his art, his outrageousness, his "clowning" and his showmanship were all part of his efforts to express himself. Long after this interview he remained consistent to his thoughts about the meaning of chasity in logarithmic curve cauliflowers and rhinocerous horns, a phenomena in nature now more widely known as the "golden ratio" or fibonacci curve. Dali goes on to talk about the new discoveries in science with regard to chromosomes, physics, biology even anti-matter. Dali, in my opinion, was truly a genius in many ways.
Thank you Wallace. Obviously you were smart enough to interview a man whose imagination was too advance for his time. Unlike the Cavett interview you had patience with this quick thinker.
Yes the Cavett interview was really bad. I wondered why he had invited him. He didn't understand and on top of it, he, in his own mind, ridiculed Dali. So rude...Some of these interviewers forget who their guest really are. Or never have understood anyway...
Yes, compasred to modern chat hosts Cavett is great, i really like him. But he made an absolute mess of the Dali show, i suspect he hadnt done his research and at least familiarised himself with Dali's very peculiar language.
To see in person so many of his works at THE DALÍ MUSEUM in St. Petersburg, FL is a wonderment of a lifetime. To not visit THE DALÍ is to have missed one of the greatest things on Earth! The time and expense of a special trip to visit the museum is worth all efforts to do so at least once in your life- GO!!!!!!
The Dali Museum in St. Pete is great! The Museum itself is a work of art. Located on a lovely waterfront/marina. Historic Tampa/St. Pete definitely a tourist destination for art lovers, be sure to visit the local art districts and Tampa downtown Riverwalk, Fab restaurants, nightlife. Enjoyed the Gulf beaches as well!
Lol I was in st Pete for a one time visit in 2014 if I remember correctly but I definitely remember looking for something to do and randomly ended up checking out the Dali museum. Definitely a cool experience and was surprised there was a Dali museum in St. Pete, seemed like a random place to be but nothing against it.
@@polepino I didn't ask why the museum's located there, I'm just glad it is. A trip to Spain would cost a lot more! I've bought SIX canvas giclees for my house since visiting a few years ago. They are marvelous; worth every cent. Look so real with textures and brush strokes, it's amazing! Everyone who sees them is totally blown away. You'd think they're high-end forgeries if it weren't for the museum logo faintly in one corner. You can buy them direct from the museum store online.
For an alleged looney and eccentric, Dali answers Mike so calmly , lucidly , and with such a straight face, that I can’t tell if he seriously beleives everything he says , or is putting us on to some degree. Regardless, this is an incredibly fascinating and surprisingly thought-provoking discourse.
Good interviewer, actually. He didnt sound neither pretentious or ignorant. He went straight to the point, respecting the interviewee, asking sensible questions. I bet Dalí liked him, because, despite his usually eccentrically metaphysical responses, he seems pretty relaxed and sympathetic in this interview.
Remember that this was the worlds introduction to Dali. Mike Wallace was just another guy trying to make a paycheck. In those days the general public didn't know much about anything or anybody, everything was new as we were slowly introduced to the world via TV. Dali blew the worlds mind when this was aired and everyone blew him off as just a nut who drew really weird paintings. Within 10 years the world would never forget him.
The public still doesn’t know about much or anything. The media is worse than ever and is designed to manipulate your perception of reality not inform you of the truth.
I am lucky enough t have seen a few of his works at various museums and at various points in life, each time they stop me in my tracks. He was wise to consider him self a genius while he was alive. Perhaps that is part of how he got so far?
This man is the DEFINITION of what a TRUE artist is. The very cornerstone of an artist, he has demonstrated it time after time after time. How i WISH I could have met him. 🖤🌷 P.s I’m cracking up by this interviewers frustration through his breath when he scoffs lmao... can’t really handle Dali’s analogies or expressions. Lol he ain’t the only one.
This interview is nice, but in my opinion none in that time could have understood Dali enough to talk with him about his artworks... he was waaaaaaay beyond his time, a madman, but a loved one
Woo S Agreed. Its like he is on trial and have to try and explain his paintings. To someone who haven’t got a clue and doesnt want to try and understand
Automobiliana Isn’t that the majority of the public? Wallace is the everyday man attempting to understand the genius. That’s the beauty of the interview.
I don't get why people have a hard time understanding dali. He makes perfect sense - especially the part about painting your own cosmogany. I didn't know there was a word for cosmogany, but I'm so glad there is, so the next time I'm taking about it, I can just use the word instead of describing the whole definition every time. Maybe I should read Freud.
Maybe you should consult a dictionary. The word is ‘cosmogony’. It denotes the birth of the universe and of celestial systems. Applying it to himself, Dali is self-aggrandising - as was his wont.
I can tell Salvador Dali was a genius. He's a Catalan but he could speak English with elaborated and sophisticated words which is difficult to do by average people.
It was worse than what I expected. He should have had a much better grasp on English, maybe he did. A great man but possibly a crafty one too, who knows for sure.
I think there's less eccentric characters around now. There's more pressure to conform and fewer people break free from those shackles. I think that's a shame, hopefully we will see many more in the future.
@@sharpvidtube I don't see why you say that...Idk...look up the band Clown Core here on YT. It sounds cheesy I know, but it's so much worse than that. 🤠
Mike got confused when Dali explained the soft, flexible watches in "The Persistence of Memory". Dali was trying to say, in this interview anyway, that science has discovered that time is flexible and not persistent, not consistent throughout the universe. Einstein showed that time is relative to the observer, speeding up or slowing down depending on the relative motion of the two reference frames, and relative to the strength of gravity which itself is just the distortion of space-time. Rather brilliant for a non-scientist if you think about it.
Dali been very perceptive about the world of science and well aware of his time discoveries and used those information in his art. Pretty ingenious, one may say.
Very interesting. I usually think it doesn't really matter too much what an artist says about their work, the art speaks for itself. But this was insightful.
Dali talking about the beauty of death made me think of my father who died tragically when I was a teenager. Before he died I could have listed a million things wrong with him. After, it's like those things didn't matter as much and I just clung to the good memories. In life he was a flawed human like the rest of us. In death you become like an angel. And the deeds of your life become almost like myths.
Some people think, a painter can be famous only if he paints perfectly. In reality their personality and strong character made them famous. Nowadays many people try to get to the level of perfection with their paintings, but if you look at them or talk with them, they not jumping out from the crowd to you, because they forgot to create out something of themself, so much they focused on the canvas. So though they might paint better than others, nobody knows their name, noone wants to deal with them, because they do not have their unique personality, they are not brave enough to have their own opinion about things, wear their own style, their own color, have their own realm, their own wisdom. Well, painting good is not enough, because to enjoy a painting you have to enjoy the painter as well. They come hand in hand. If you develop your skills but you forget to develop yourself, you will not achieve anything, even if you paint until your death. When Dalì said, he enjoys every day to be more Dalì, that is what he ment. His persona was just as surrealistic as his paintings and the painting and the painter had a full harmonic relationship with each other. That is when it gets fascinating and gets your attention. If you can have such a unique mindset as he had, you can paint even stick figures, people will love it and your stickfigures can storm down any superrealistic painter around you. This thing I wrote specifically to those young and adult people, who are struggling in the field of creativity feeling they are not good enough. It has never been about beeing the most skilled artist, but rather being the most OF YOU, especially that part of you, what is differentiate you from every other people in the world. If you can find that part of you and you can express it, than you made your first step towards eternity, when your name will be written into encyclopedias and lexicons or maybe some other way will be preserved. In Ancient Egypt it was said "a person lives, until his/her name lives". So though you might die when you are 70-80, but if people remember your name centuries or millenias later, you still considered a living being, because you still have the direct effect on people's everyday life. They will borrow your thoughts, your sentences, your look, your style, your feelings, therefore you will live in those people further, you extend yourself towards the future and if you can imagine even towards the past. To be exceptional thinker in your time never a sweet smooth feeling, because you can expect, that people will ridicule you until your death. But what is coming after, that worth every risk. In the eye of the future even the craziest people can become something extremely beautiful. So if you see someone, who is painting way better than you, do not take off your brushes, do not give up, because there are many other ways to catch people's heart other than some really good brushstrokes. Not really the brushstroke what is matter, but rather your story to it.
@@lydiavasquez1844 Exactly. They needed an artist to interview him, or someone who regarded Dali as an artist instead of some sort of 20th century societal phenomenon.
lol 😉 I believe in the beginning what he's trying to say is "my personality, who I am, is more important than what I do" which I agree with But we have to remember, he was constantly on He was constantly trying to get a reaction His paintings weren't his art, HE was his art And yeah, if you want a real trip, try watching it with the subtitles 🤨
Mike Wallace has a hard time to understand the character of the person best describes how art blossoms. Dali was looking for reaction from everything he did. He was an actor as well as a visual painter.
To all lovers of art and specially of the amazing body of work in all fields that Dali left the world, I strongly suggest to visit the Dali Museum located in St. Petersburg, FL.
Smart, honesty, clear mind, perfectly makes sense. Okay, I can see ppl been rejected by percieved egoism, but if you listen more carefully, like here on topic of fear of death and his reasons for that, you can clearly see he almost defeated the ego in complete (altrough that is a struggle which never truly ends) Dali is certainly among my top 10 ppl Id mention who are the greatest ppl in history and had the deepest influence on myself. Rest in peace you crazy old fucker, you surely wasnt wrong when you pulled the Tesla (another from the bunch) theorem, about time working for you. I look up do all thjose ppl for different reasons, Dali is perhaps ONLY human I ever saw and heard who CONSTANTLY surprises me with his answers and views. And thats a feet SO UNIQUE it requires to be admired in itself. A fucking titan.
In 1974, as an 18 year old, I was hanging out on a Greek Island with an American, very bohemian, very attractive girlfriend of Dali. All these years later, I wish I had spent more time asking her about Dali and less time working out how I could get her into the sack lol
I enjoy both the interviewer's rationalism and Dali's surrealism. They seem to be competing forms of expression, but there is great rational worth to be found in analyzing Dali through an interviewer or scientist's frame of mind, as well as great surrealist worth to be found in being analyzed. With greater understanding comes greater boundaries to be explored by the artist, which leads to ever more puzzling questions from rationalists. Some people might accept the schools of academic thought as the boundaries of understanding and that there is little more beyond what we already know, and that by rigorous questioning an artist might be broken down into their basic sum and become demystified, but that reveals their great ignorance of academics and the artist's ignorance of their power to make art out of dialog. There is no end or beginning. Molecules to atoms to up quarks and down. Particles behave as waves. We think we know space and time and the way of things, but ask a physicist to describe space and time. Ask them about the nature of quantum tunneling or the special solution of the Einstein field equations. Where is the end of rationalism? We haven't found it and it's doubtful we ever will. That's where the artist and philosopher gain their power. Not to be angry with rationalism, but to use the rational world as a diving board into furthest depths. The artist does not need to explain? I think if you want to take your art further, as Dali explains, you show your personality through your approach to the persistent questioning of society. We live in that society, as much as we'd like it to be something else, it isn't, it just is what it is. Don't bluntly bat away questions, but do as Dali does and explain with your own language. Or as Lou Reed did with absurdity, silly lies, and cleverly questioning the questioner. Be like Socrates and ask of the nature of their questions. Don't hate an idiot, don't even pity them, teach them, nurture them on your own values. Dali does this well.
Great answers ,he really took time to explain to Mike Wallice .You got to know lot about nuclear physics ,mysticism Jungian analytical psychology to understand Dali
Holy Crap! I've always hated cigarettes but after watching this I have an odd craving for a cigarette, but not just any cigarette, I want a Parliament with a recess filter!
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I had just seen the larry king thing with eric andre when i thought that king doesnt understand him like wallace never really caught on to dali. what a legend.
Poets write things that are not meant to be understood by anyone...perhaps not even by the poet. This, I believe, is how Dali's mind continually worked, when concious.
My name is Mike Wallace, the cigarette is Parliament... ("I'll be interviewing Mr. Parliament a bit later, but now...") Lol! Best ad segue ever!! I'm more interested in his upcoming interview with Rheinhold Niebuhr, but I have to wait a whole week??
Damn he was saying that scientists and physicist looked at his paintings and saw what we now call a hollowgram😨😱 Crazy how the eye can uncover many creations!
The sudden cigarette promo at the beginning of the show, given by the shows host, beares striking resemblance to sponsored ads in UA-cam content today. It's like: that sort of intermittent advertising went out of style for _years_ on public television only to suddenly become relevant again in the modern day thanks to user-generated content on the internet.
updated for these times...great observation!parallels.there really is nothing new under the sun.....updated visions versions of perceptions....hmmmmmmmm
User generated content for free while UA-cam generates profit while audience suffers. YT has way too frequent ads. I will not pay for free content. Did YT pay for my internet service ? Or device? Or software? Whatever happened to share ware? Etc etc etc.
Really good interview and the interviewer. I saw an interview with Dali previously on Dick Cavett show and it was more superficial and entertainment driven.
Not to mention the fact that today's commentors only want to talk about the fact that there was a cigarette ad at the beginning of the interview!!! Jeez people, get over it!
The most surreal thing is the cigarette promo
Yes, it is truly as strange as Dali.
True 😂
the most surreal thing is looping 25:30 to 25:32 and try to deduce is there´s some kind of subliminal conditioning there. Also, to wonder if the interviewer was really that fast with the remark or if there was any postediting involved. Doubt he being fast though, when he couldn´t understand the term cosmogony earlier
I want a pack of parliament
Wow. That was quite the advertisement for cancer sticks. Unbelievable.

He was/is a brilliant man!
he may be schizophrenic: loose associations, neologisms (make up words), delusions...ect....
Everyone has a unique perspective, but most people are afraid to express anything outside of the politically-correct group-consensus.

Dali once said, "I don't take drugs. I am drugs." This interview confirms that.
I LOVE this quote...
He also added “take me”.
Charles Manson also said the same thing

So though you might die when you are 70-80, but if people remember your name centuries or millenias later, you still considered a living being, because you still have the direct effect on people's everyday life. They will borrow your thoughts, your sentences, your look, your style, your feelings, therefore you will live in those people further, you extend yourself towards the future and if you can imagine even towards the past. To be exceptional thinker in your time never a sweet smooth feeling, because you can expect, that people will ridicule you until your death. But what is coming after, that worth every risk. In the eye of the future even the craziest people can become something extremely beautiful. So if you see someone, who is painting way better than you, do not take off your brushes, do not give up, because there are many other ways to catch people's heart other than some really good brushstrokes. Not really the brushstroke what is matter, but rather your story to it.
I paint in my own style. Some do not like it. I paint for the ones that do like it. IG @streetsider
Im blown away by your insights...
Maybe because I get it what you see
thank you for blessing us with these words :) very inspiring... i took a picture :P
Can I repost this on Instagram? What is your real name?
A real shame this has only 17 upvotes. Might be the greatest comment I've ever seen in the youtube comments section lol
I love you Dali. Thank you for paving the way. I feel so safe and validated because I myself connect through surrealism. He really saved me
He was certainly a genius relevant to the general populace of the time, at least. Great man.
You need an educated interviewer to interview Dali
You need someone who was in the cult to understand him. An intellectual would think he was mad...he needs a painter to interview him.
Neither.. A genuinely free human being
You just need Soler Serrano to get a great interview.
@@lydiavasquez1844 Exactly. They needed an artist to interview him, or someone who regarded Dali as an artist instead of some sort of 20th century societal phenomenon.
Exactly
lol 😉 I believe in the beginning what he's trying to say is "my personality, who I am, is more important than what I do" which I agree with
But we have to remember, he was constantly on
He was constantly trying to get a reaction
His paintings weren't his art, HE was his art
And yeah, if you want a real trip, try watching it with the subtitles 🤨
Pure genius and madness...no better artist imho
What I learnt about being an artist:
1. Rhinoceros horn
2. Eccentric facial hair
3. Cauliflowers
Mike Wallace has a hard time to understand the character of the person best describes how art blossoms. Dali was looking for reaction from everything he did. He was an actor as well as a visual painter.

K.T. I don't know you honey but please stop saying those things.
@@KennethJOkwok Not for 1958. Back then just about everyone smoked.
Nothing has changed.
To all lovers of art and specially of the amazing body of work in all fields that Dali left the world, I strongly suggest to visit the Dali Museum located in St. Petersburg, FL.
Smart, honesty, clear mind, perfectly makes sense.
Okay, I can see ppl been rejected by percieved egoism, but if you listen more carefully, like here on topic of fear of death and his reasons for that, you can clearly see he almost defeated the ego in complete (altrough that is a struggle which never truly ends)
Dali is certainly among my top 10 ppl Id mention who are the greatest ppl in history and had the deepest influence on myself.
Rest in peace you crazy old fucker, you surely wasnt wrong when you pulled the Tesla (another from the bunch) theorem, about time working for you.
I look up do all thjose ppl for different reasons, Dali is perhaps ONLY human I ever saw and heard who CONSTANTLY surprises me with his answers and views. And thats a feet SO UNIQUE it requires to be admired in itself.
A fucking titan.
Love this man.
Wallace: "As an adult you confessed that you once kicked a legless beggar along the street."
Dalí: "Exactly." XD
Didnt we all when we were young.
In 1974, as an 18 year old, I was hanging out on a Greek Island with an American, very bohemian, very attractive girlfriend of Dali. All these years later, I wish I had spent more time asking her about Dali and less time working out how I could get her into the sack lol
Very entertaining, people in the late 50's probably didn't know how to handle this guy but think he is awesome, great painter.
i'm mike smokin wallace and this is my cigarette show called smokin cigs with the big wigs and the cigarettes parliament.
Mike Wallace is probably the most respectful american interviewer Dali encountered.
I hate this idiot sarcastic's attitude! We, as artist, have to explain nothing!
I enjoy both the interviewer's rationalism and Dali's surrealism. They seem to be competing forms of expression, but there is great rational worth to be found in analyzing Dali through an interviewer or scientist's frame of mind, as well as great surrealist worth to be found in being analyzed. With greater understanding comes greater boundaries to be explored by the artist, which leads to ever more puzzling questions from rationalists. Some people might accept the schools of academic thought as the boundaries of understanding and that there is little more beyond what we already know, and that by rigorous questioning an artist might be broken down into their basic sum and become demystified, but that reveals their great ignorance of academics and the artist's ignorance of their power to make art out of dialog.
There is no end or beginning. Molecules to atoms to up quarks and down. Particles behave as waves. We think we know space and time and the way of things, but ask a physicist to describe space and time. Ask them about the nature of quantum tunneling or the special solution of the Einstein field equations. Where is the end of rationalism? We haven't found it and it's doubtful we ever will. That's where the artist and philosopher gain their power. Not to be angry with rationalism, but to use the rational world as a diving board into furthest depths.
The artist does not need to explain? I think if you want to take your art further, as Dali explains, you show your personality through your approach to the persistent questioning of society. We live in that society, as much as we'd like it to be something else, it isn't, it just is what it is. Don't bluntly bat away questions, but do as Dali does and explain with your own language. Or as Lou Reed did with absurdity, silly lies, and cleverly questioning the questioner. Be like Socrates and ask of the nature of their questions. Don't hate an idiot, don't even pity them, teach them, nurture them on your own values. Dali does this well.
im understanding Dalí´s mystique. Very spiritual, why he was a surrealist.
Great answers ,he really took time to explain to Mike Wallice .You got to know lot about nuclear physics ,mysticism Jungian analytical psychology to understand Dali
Or you can just eat mushrooms

Holy Crap! I've always hated cigarettes but after watching this I have an odd craving for a cigarette, but not just any cigarette, I want a Parliament with a recess filter!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
I had just seen the larry king thing with eric andre when i thought that king doesnt understand him like wallace never really caught on to dali. what a legend.
Poets write things that are not meant to be understood by anyone...perhaps not even by the poet. This, I believe, is how Dali's mind continually worked, when concious.
My name is Mike Wallace, the cigarette is Parliament... ("I'll be interviewing Mr. Parliament a bit later, but now...") Lol! Best ad segue ever!!
I'm more interested in his upcoming interview with Rheinhold Niebuhr, but I have to wait a whole week??
Damn he was saying that scientists and physicist looked at his paintings and saw what we now call a hollowgram😨😱
Crazy how the eye can uncover many creations!
Dali is superiorly superb!
He’s an artist
What does condescending Wallace not understand
It’s Salvador Dali
Thanks !!!
I like when geniuses declare it, cut through all the fake humbleness
wow
Hvala za objavo, Ljubomire. Ovo je meni dragocijeno.
The sudden cigarette promo at the beginning of the show, given by the shows host, beares striking resemblance to sponsored ads in UA-cam content today.
It's like: that sort of intermittent advertising went out of style for _years_ on public television only to suddenly become relevant again in the modern day thanks to user-generated content on the internet.
That's a very interesting point. I've noticed how clothes fashion repeat every couple of decades
updated for these times...great observation!parallels.there really is nothing new under the sun.....updated visions versions of perceptions....hmmmmmmmm
User generated content for free while UA-cam generates profit while audience suffers. YT has way too frequent ads. I will not pay for free content. Did YT pay for my internet service ? Or device? Or software? Whatever happened to share ware? Etc etc etc.
More attention was made in examining and describing the full flavor of a cigarette, than understanding the eccentrics of a man.
Great observation, couldn't agree more 😂👏
Aaa. Incredibil. Finally a piece of history love it. Tigarete comerccial
Really good interview and the interviewer. I saw an interview with Dali previously on Dick Cavett show and it was more superficial and entertainment driven.
Dali is legend
indeed. Here in 2020, that cigarette ad is surreal enough, but Fred Flintstone trying to sell me a Winston takes top prize.
grow a pair of balls for gods sake.
@@goodheavens5440
god needs more balls!!
-Who sees the world through surrealist eyes *opens eyes more*
It's uncanny how much Chris Wallace sounds like his dad, especially when they ask a question in a puzzled tone.
"Yes, yes Dali...I'm sure that's all juuust fine. But...These CIGARETTES ARE UTTERLY FANTASTIC!"
Mike wallace is perhaps the greatest interviewer ever. Those who think he did a bad job here don't know how an interview works.
I love you Dali
Cosmogony: the branch of science that deals with the origin of the universe, especially the solar system.
Evident and rampant ignorance of the interviewers when talking to Dali.
Not to mention the fact that today's commentors only want to talk about the fact that there was a cigarette ad at the beginning of the interview!!! Jeez people, get over it!
I can’t believe the reporter was also promoting the tobacco product advertised at the beginning “ high five parliament now at popular price”!
He was indeed a genius ❤
Mike Wallace was selling the heck out of that Cigarette brand wonder how many folks died of cancer as a result of his advertising efforts
Dali was in my lifetime that blows my mind ...this century .
I was born in 1954 his art will be around for centuries to come
his personality ...Never seen him laugh once in any video
You're right, but in "What's My Line" he is holding back his laugh, it's perceptible...
Calls Dali "mild man"
Proceeds to call him out as
Masochist/Sadist
Now I wanna smoke a Parliament so bad!!
Thank you for sharing this!
over 30.000.0000 million lung cancer patients thank you mike wallace!!!
I have officially switched to Parliaments, only because this is the last real cigarette commercial with no truth ads except Mike Wallace!!!
Salvador has a way of explaining rocket science to a newborn baby
he's a social media influencer well before his time
This is the first time auto generated captions have helped me
