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.

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 4 жыл бұрын

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.

"Surrealism" is as much imagery in 2D as it can be in behavior. It is a concept represented in many forms.

He understood the concept so well he could depict it during his public appearances.

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prOSocaUlc6ckp8.html Here he's still eccentric and all, but conversational and reasonable.

I actually ran into Dali on a winter day in 1966, while on my lunch hour. I recognized him from a distance from his moustache, and as we passed each other, he handed me a card advertising his latest exhibit. My touch with greatness.

I loved Dali since I was a wee tiny lass. I cried and cried when he died. A Master of the Surreal. He could take any mundane object you thought you knew, and make you see it completely differently. I'm glad to have been in the same lifetime as him. Thank you for posting this video.

Art is imperfection; his English is understandable, he sounds fluent, his vocabulary is enriched, it’s all about his accent… he preserved his identity on purpose, since he was a very unruled human being. 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.

He said the mustache is the tragic element of the human face, but to him, the mustache represents the hands of a clock ticking, so he is saying something about the nature of mortality and the human condition being inherently tragic, in an absurd way. I wish he were a bit more fluent in English to hear more of his musings.

long time Dali fan...I always loved this interview. Rarely did you see Dick Cavett 'thrown out of sorts' and into a state where he was somewhat disoriented, off-kilter and he didnt know how to deal with Dali. 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. The entire scene was a living Dali work of art.
