Salvador Dali on "What's My Line?"

- This ten minute clip is drawn from the famous 1950s game show, and it's quite surreal. I don't use the word surreal loosely: the special guest is Salvador Dali.

![What's My Line? - Walt Disney; Jerry Lewis [panel] (Nov 11, 1956)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7FRpJZWhxso/mqdefault.jpg)
"yes."
-Salvador Dali
Will Settle
Salvador Dali Have you ever worked with Walt Disney?.
''yes''
Great comment for a great material. I just found this on YT and I´m liking it. It reminds me of a show I used to watch as a kid in Cuba. Who knows, perhaps "inspired" by this one.
"ies"
"no."
They were on a time limit, as the clock was melting.
4 ppl got this reference
Brilliant!
good one
Lol
Hahah
"How much of an artist ARE you?..."
Dali: "Yes"
LOL 😃
Yes
His autograph at the start was art in itself.
Right? I wonder if anyone had the presence of mind to save that sign-in board? And if so, whom? And where is it now? And can I please have it?
DIY Improver You kno wat? I had that exact same thought! Sadly I suspect it was just thrown away. I too would love to have it! Apart from its sentimental value I'm sure it would be worth a lot of money now.
@@jasontuck-smith3896 I remember reading he would pay for stuff by drawing and signing art on his bills, so surely they'd know its worth.
Yes
Yeaaaa performance art!
That “misleading man” line was genius
It was!
No celebrity guest today has the wits to make such clever replies, sadly.
@@user-fe8de2gu5v They have the wits but aren't allowed to use them, the jokes always needs to be lowest common denominator. One important thing to remember is that we no longer have celebrity artists. Outside of Banksy, no one has any real fame.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Such good timing!!
Honestly that woman must’ve been a riot.
Dali wasn't bragging. He really did do everything.
Yes he did
bingo
@@booklover3959 to say it in his own words: "yes."
Nobody said he was bragging.
@@DrummerJacob Golden63 said so, but in a negative assertion, a manner that would be misleading into thinking that someone said he is bragging.
Salvador Dali is so legendary I didn't believe that there is actual footage of him, and I watched the video and still don't believe
Yes
He even appeared in Adverts on T.V in the early '70's and was criticised for it.
@@maxinemckenzie6076 I dimly remember him in an ad for Alka-Seltzer, or was it Pepto-Bismol?
@@Lucius1958 ‘remember him’ like when it was actually happeneding?!
I think he was a guest in Dick Cavett's show. Look it up, much funnier than this clip. He even brought a friend.
"I don't do drugs, I am drugs."
-Dali
Dali yes
Salvador Dali the original troll.
Yes! :D
jes
hjyes
I honestly don't think he was trying to mislead them, he was being honest, the things he's done I'm sure required athleticism and writing and have him as the leading man.
The way he even writes his signature is pretty athletic in my opinion.
This was... Surreal.
The Sentinel His memory still persists
Everything Dali did was surreal lol. That's just the nature of the man!
agreed
How is this not the top comment?
*claps and points finger guns* I see what you did there
just to make a note. living in spain and knowing english, spanish and french is something VERY remarkable for that time here in spain. many people say Dalí was simply a weirdo but let me tell you this dude's brain was on another whole league.
He was one of a fair number of Spanish artists who lived in Paris.
@@nrn312 I actually think he didn't move out of the country because, unlike other Spanish painters of the time like Picasso, he was sympathetic to the Franco regime. Anyway, he could have moved around for other things, I don't know...
Not forgetting that his native tongue was in fact Catalan.
Yes
100%!!!
I would never in my life would have thought that i would enjoy a game show from the 50's. That's incredible!
It's a wonderful world out there.
Shows like "What's My Line?", "I've Got a Secret" and "To Tell the Truth" have never been surpassed. Some truly remarkable moments in those shows.
My favorite episode of the latter: ruclips.net/video/LVCZTt1YLA0/видео.html
Yes
"Have you ever been to the Moon?"
"Yhes"
In his mind, he was in other universes which we will never know
Vladek Ezra Completely agree with you.
He dealt so much more than a common painter...
Bluelight Spike; I beleive he was astral travelling and u can go to the moon in your dreams if u want to.
@@jadeshannon5583 like lucid dreaming

Are you a writer?
Yes.
Are you an athlete?
Yes.
Have you ever performed surgery?
Yes.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?
Yes.
Are you a tree?
Yes.
yes
I would say under certain conditions that we would have to accept the possibility that our guest could be considered of a tree variety, but it isn't necessarily germane as to what we're trying to arrive at.
deepstarsix YES!
I just cackled.
They say his English was very good!?
So this is where the original "yes" meme came from.
Yes
Yes
Yes
No.
Yes
Looking back on these old game shows from the 50s/60s/70s, it's remarkable how intelligent the hosts, panels, and many of the guests were. Even the humor displayed a high degree of intelligent wit and literacy.
It's surreal
Yes, people certainly are in the midst of de-volution now...
@@maydom04 I blame the education system.
EXACTLY!
People have gotten more stupid over time.
It's so weird to think that Dali existed in the same time period as TV
So glad for that!
TV was invented in the 1930's and he died in 1989, that's a long history.
not really if you think surrealism was just a reaction to the rationalism that led to WW1
Want your mind really blown? Google Hieronymus Bosch a guy who was on the same level as Dali but better and way more weird but.....he was 500 years BEFORE Dali !!! The Garden of Earthly Delights is the best IMO.
@@djomegaminus His artwork is beyond bizarre and some have been used for record covers.
You should have seen the episode with Leonardo Da Vinci. Are you a painter? A sculptor? A doctor? A scientist? A writer? An inventor? A cryptographer? A scientist? A poet? An urbanist? An anatomist? A musician? A botanist? Come on!
Yes
up
A militant? A engineer?
@@empnadajhhh9469 HE would not describe himself as "scientist" as that term was created in mid-19th century. Also, anatomist and doctor are rather redundant.
A MIC sycophant?
That was surreal
lol I got that!
Such smart and well spoken panelists... so refreshing!
back when tv was kind of smart
A past culture we will never see again.
Yes
Many comments mention Dali as egotistical. He was known for his flair for the dramatic and constant need for attention. But nonetheless, he was indeed a painter, a sculptor, a fashion designer, an author, a filmmaker, artistic photographer, set designer, architectural designer and jewelry maker. He was just very creative and expressed it through many types of media. He understood the questions, he just kind of did everything!
This is the perfect answer. Most people complaining didn't really know to what extent his real talents went. Yes he boasted but with great merit.
Innuendo Channel Et Picasso était communiste, Dalí non plus.
Then the anecdote would be lost. It would translate as "Picasso is a communist, me neither" as once uttered by Dalí. Later became the inspiration for the Serge Gainsbourg song "Je t'aime...moi non plus." (I love you...neither do I)
Innuendo Channel Really? I need to explain you what MJ did?
Nostalgic NZer'He certainly was.
Just don't give him your pocket watch. He melted mine.
+Eric Taylor Small world.
*****
Of course not. He's the guy who made the weird painting with the melted watches.
+Eric Taylor
"Persistence of Memory" is the weird painting that is being talked about.
+Eric Taylor LOL! Mine, too! The man was a genius! No matter how surreal a painting could be, as a viewer you could imagine just "stepping into" the scene and everything was really normal & ordinary!
haha le epic art humor hehehehe ebin reference to his most iconic piece hehe
Just listening to Arlene Francis, she was a smart person. She listened to everything and got the misleading, vague answers, and still understood.
Beautiful comment right here!
In case anyone was wondering, Dali did an illustrated (English) edition of Don Quixote with Random House in 1946-I believe that's the book referred to in this clip. The original edition currently seems to go for 200-300 dollars.
There was reprint in 1979 that's in the mid $100 range.
Thank you! I was wondering about this published work. Now to scour used bookstores
he also had published at least 2 books before 1950s
"The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí" and "Hidden Faces"
It's funny because Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, was once kidnapped and held hostage for 5 years in late 1500s, untill his family paid ransome, by a mediterranean pirate named Dali Mami, who may have been Salvador Dalis ancestor. He thought so anyway.
Yes
@@nightspicer Neither of those were published with Random House though.
"I don't do drugs, I am drugs"
-Salvador Dali
Yes
"This is not to say that It is not within the compass of his enjoyment to endulge in this particular endeavor." My my, how eloquent. You don't hear sentences like that anymore today.
indulge
IT's up to the USA to get this show back on and I hope they do and it did cover Australia as well when it aired coz my mother used 2 watch it and I wasn't born at the time.
>endulge
u wot m80
Trump comes pretty close though.
What's wrong with shortening shit down?
Absolute genius. If you like Dali and you are ever in St. Petersburg, Florida, go to the Dali Museum there. It is fantastic ... an unexpected revelation!
If you want to see a true work of art, visit his home in Port lligat near Cadaques, or the Dali Museum in Figueras and also Gala Dali Castle in Pubol where you can find the elephant statues in the gardens.
Dali Museum Monmatre, Paris is really worth a visit too :)
One of my fave stops
Ah, but let's not forget the Dali museum in Monterey, California as well ☝🏼
Go to Catalonia...visit his home, his museum....drink it all in.
Remember when interesting people were on tv, and that was interesting enough reason to watch it?
No
KefkasLaugh ...
Yes, then interesting people made tv. Now tv makes pseudo people.
Now, even with internet, it's getting harder and harder to find interesting thing to watch..
I feel sorry that you cant find anything interesting now.
@@makaveli201071 Unnecessarily - I've said it's getting harder, not that it's impossible. I also have a good amount of other interesting activities, beside "watching", so feel free to breathe a sigh of relief ;)
An artist consists of all that exists.
YES!
Indeed!
miloesalazar This has the ring of a famous aphorism, and yet I do believe you've coined it! (Correct me if I'm wrong.) It does, humorously enough though, remind me of the hypocritical avant-garde artist Paul Newman plays in the 1964 film "What a Way To Go" (satiric screenplay by Comden and Green), who proclaims to his girlfriend (Shirley MacLaine), "Money corrupts; art Erupts!" "Ohh, that's a beautiful saying," she replies admiringly. "It's immortal. I just made it up," says he.
An eccentric genius artist too.
Incredible and very true quote! I appreciate your mind!! 🙏💫
The questions they asked seemed ridiculously broad! Then, out of nowhere, "Are you characterized by your mustache? Are you Salvador Dali?"
Did you notice the large gap between her mask and the lower side of her nose on our right side? Perhaps she peaked?
Tall Gary "Her" being Arlene Dahl.
As of August 2014 she is still living, so one must say she has not yet "peaked." But I meant to say "peeked." I was surprised to see that Arlene Dahl is the mother of Lorenzo Lamas.Tall Gary
I was thinking the same thing, out of nowhere she asked about a mustache?! She absoutely peeked!
Tall Gary This was Arlene Francis, not Dahl. Esther Williams was the mother of Lorenzo Lamas.
I don't think I laughed this hard in a while. Dali was answering every question 100% true in his mind as well..
This is true art in motion. When I was a kid, I thought this man was ancient
And to think, Dali only died in 89, That really isn't TOO long ago.
@@Adrian-wd4rn I know! When I was little, I thought he died in like the 1800s lol.
You're thinking of Picasso.
Wow the way presenter used to talk with such eloquence and articulate manner.
YES
Stone TheCrows;Mr Daly had a great job!
Yes
All of them in fact
That was the T.V. accent. You had to learn that back in the day. It was partially because the mic quality was very lackluster.
I admire how people used to be very articulate back then.
Sad when you see where we are now
Feels like watching Reviewbrah
You don't like the "cash me outside girl" or "honey boo boo " ?
Yes.
Me too!
*A legend on TV! That's a rare footage here!* 😲
"Ehh ehno."
He died on 89, that's actually crazy cause people believe him to be like DaVinci type old
"Hes a misleading man" lol. That was pretty quick
"Where were you February 30th, 1965 Mr. Dali?"
"Yes."
lol
lol
That's why it's funny...
@Mike Fletcher Aaaand it was shot in the 50's
Apparently, in a time machine.
"Are you a God?" "Yes."
Joao Sa'; lol
lol
Gozer: Then Liiiiiiiiive!
Max Stirner Moment
Some might call him a creator of worlds I suppose.
For me the best thing is that he behaves so genuinely, like he is so deep into his character that has become the performance itself.
Not exactly making allowances for the fact that English isn't his first language, are they?
“no”
In fact it was his fourth
@BALBINO SOBREVIELA JIMÉNEZ And even then, he was Catalan, he didn't have the most fluent Castilian Spanish
@@RoderickVI oh please...he spoke Spanish Castillian perfectly.
@@RoderickVI It's a common foreign misconception to think catalonians don't speak spanish fluently, because the huge majority of them do as much as any other spaniard. But it's even worse to think Dali didn't speak fluent spanish because of being catalonian, because he was in fact very oppose to catalonian independentist movement and that's exactly the kind of thing which makes Dali a less valued artist by catalonian ultranationalists, which had to promote plain shitty artists like Miró or Tapiès instead as catalonian marketing tools.
Shame on them, because Dali was and always will be the greatest catalonian painter. And boy did he liked to be spanish.
Funny how language evolves so quickly. It's a game show, but they're talking like they're at a fancy dinner party with the Queen.
Edit: ....This whole "society has devolved" mess in the comments is just as pretentious as the high class accent in the clip.
You mean devolves...
but they are at a fancy dinner party with someone- its fucking Dali heh
Most empires only last 250 years
It's called the trans-atlantic dialect. Most people in broadcasting or in the upper class learned to speak this way. Average people didn't talk like that.
@Tom Walsh you're right, not sure why I said dialect
"There's nothing that this man doesn't do!" Yup, that sums him up quite well-a multi-talented individual.
The ironic thing is that while the constant "yes" answers were humorous and certainly in line with Dali's perception of himself, almost all was true. In addition to being a ridiculously talented artist, he was an accomplished sculptor, designed sets for ballets and films, designed a very limited run of cutlery, co-designed fashion with Christian Dior and at the time this was aired, true to his word, had published one fiction and two non-fiction works. The one exception that stands out is that none of his published works at the time were by Random House.
He wasn't a leading man in the context of the question, but I'm sure that in Dali's mind, performing the daily role of Salvador Dali qualified. :)
+ZeppelinBigFan a film that provided the material for one of The Pixies' songs (Debaser) :)
Not that anyone asked
Justin'Excellent line!
This man truely was one of the most unique, talented and funny human beings of all time. I have a lot of respect for him as I’m an artist as well. Sadly he died one year before I was born. If he was still alive I would really like to meet him and talk about various kind of art.
Dali wrote Fifty Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship about how he conceptualized, his habits as an artist and philosophies. A great read with lots of notes, doodles and inspiration.
He is the only celebrity guest that doesn't use chalk for signing but a brush!
Dali didn't troll in the least. Few people know the extent and variety of his accomplishments. And yes he was a leading man at least in the field of Surrealism.
That was the joke, misleading realism.
"leading man" means movie star. He was in a few movies, but he wasn't known as a leading man like Leonardo DiCaprio or anything.
@@lUnderdogl That was not the joke. The joke is that Dali was being misleading when he answered affirmatively to the woman.
He definitely was a leading man
@@thefart He was not a leading man in the regular understanding of the term. He was a man who lead his field, but he was not an A-lister male hollywood celebrity that was regularly cast to star and draw in larger crowds for blockbuster feature films.
They laughed when he said he was a writer. The fools. His writing was astonishing. Of course he was a writer, a brilliant writer at that.
Thanks to Federico García Lorca
I think they were laughing(not because he was a writer)but it just seemed their wasn't anything he couln't do and yes that is Dali!
They were laughing because he did everything
Yup, actually he co-wrote “un chien andalou” with Luis Buñuel
He was misunderstood. It's hard enough to appreciate him now let alone then. They did recognize him immediately when they realized that he was primarily an artist also known for books and film production.
"There isn't a thing this man doesn't do!" Dali, such a genius. Love his art.
Dali's work is so good. It just jumps off the wall when you look at it. People didn't like his politics or his unapologetic commercialism. But his paintings are just wonderful. You don't have to be an art lover or a student of art or anything.....They are full of imagination and color, and craft.....
He was being literal with every question.
Salvador Dali was the ultimate troll on that show!
Mariano Noriega'He was an eccentric genius!
Yes.
He wasn't trolling. I mean, he was notoriously a troll, but he wasn't in that particular context. He was just answering honestly. He had a poliedrical talent. He painted, sculplted, wrote, directed movies...he did a number of things, in fact.
@Finn Goldberg Oh yeah, everyone at that time that wasnt allied to the communists were fascists. Even americans and George Orwell(and well known anarchist) were all labed as fascists by the reds.
@Finn Goldberg He lived in italy during the spanish civil war where he didnt chose a side, didnt hang out with mussolini.
Salvador dali compared his own drawings to comic strips, this is amazing to watch
It was actually a complicated question because the question was phrased "do you do drawings, like comic strips?" rather than asking if he is a cartoonist. I would have definitely said "yes" too.
1950: "Have you a moustache that is rather well known, in fact could you be almost caricaturized just by that?"
2020: "Yo, are you that freak guy with f***ing weird whiskers?".
Decline of the West 😢
Exactly. People back then talked so much more formally. I wish people could still speak like that.
We've become such a dumbed-down society. 😥
@@JohnJApanovitch it’s difficult to do. Less commonly used words in any language will inevitably be phased out
@@JohnJApanovitch yo we out here dawg.
Is this itself a piece of art? Yes it is
Is this itself a piece of art? Yes.
Fixed that for you.
Olaf De Laat'Indeed it is a work of art!
YES!
"are you a performer"
- b*tch this whole broadcast is me performing right now u ask.
Salvador Dali was living surrealism!
"Is there something quite unusual about our guest?"
Multi-talented...
This is my absolute favorite show. I wish I could have lived during that time where personal strengths were recognized. Handwriting, wit, honesty and truthfulness seemed to matter. My grandfather: Johnny Shade Tramel was the example of what a man should be. When I watch this show, I wish he could have been a guest. He holds the record in DeKalb Co.,TN for the most goats born from one goat at once..5. I love this show and I miss my grandfather SO much. Long live "What's My Line."
I've said it before, watching these 'Mystery Guest' clips: Just imagine the thrill of being on that panel, and shaking hands with some of the most
legendary people who ever lived. Amazing.
I love how people addressed each other with respect and wit. And obviously what a pleasure to see Salvador Dali in such a situation :)
And the way they created each other in the end, shaking hands with the gentleman and kissing the hands of the ladies.
Andre Breton and the other originators of Surrealism once had a big meeting with Dali, who they were all pissed off with, and said, "Dali, we're kicking you out of Surrealism..." to which Dali replied, "You can't kick me out of Surrealism -- I *AM* Surrealism!"
I think Salvador Dali in the end will be the most well remembered of all Twentieth Century artists.
+Bill Northway Imo, also the best.
why did they wanna kick him out
Betaboog
Basically, they didn't like his subject matter. Surrealism is a representation of the subconscious. Basically, if we're being honest here, there is some real freaky shit in people's subconscious. Dali was right. They weren't true surrealists because they wanted to censor and shy away from true explorations of the subconscious mind. Ultimately, they were the enemies of this kind of art despite helping to pioneer it and delving quite deep into it.
One example is that he had anuses in some of his paintings. They brought this to his attention. So then he hid anuses in plain view in his paintings. He was the master troll. You see that when you read his words and thoughts, I recommend doing so. Some really hilarious shit in there.
+Bill Northway Picasso tbh will probably go down in history as more famous.
colbyricho
That's all good but I believe that Dali was much more skilled than he. His level of detail is unparalleled. You really have to see it to believe it. Detail alone won't get you there, I realize but that's just 1 reason why I think he's the best. It nearly goes without saying that he's the most interesting artist I've ever heard of and that translated full-bore to his work. That's another reason.
Basically, the public is only willing to go so far with art, that's why pioneers, legends, like Dali, will not be remembered as much. He went 'too far' and many people didn't 'get it'. Fear of the unknown and one's own self-imposed conditioning to the limited size of their box.
Unbelievable. This man is a huge success and legend. How is there so many thumbs down!
A game show?! Can you imaging a game show today with viewers and players sophisticated enough to warrant having the likes of a Salvator Dali as a guest?
Is anyone else notice how much more articulate people were 60 years ago?
Tito Obaisi;Their r still people still around like that these days and even 60 years ago their were people that only spoke in slang.My mother told me this.
Yes
Everybody is so polite and well-spoken, was this broadcasted on a popular station back than? I wish we'dd get such refined entertainment on the teli today.
And so articulate. The M.C. could explains things so quickly because he used the correct words, rather than stumbling around repeating swear words.
And yes, there were only 3 stations then, all popular.
At the time this program began there were only 64 American cities with their own television stations; though most had only one, they could be affiliated with any of the then current 4 networks (DuMont, NBC, CBS, or ABC). What hurt the CBS network (which originally aired this show) was their advocating an industry-wide shift and restart of ALL American TV from the VHF band to the UHF band for their incompatible color TV system (it wouldn't work with the then current black and white system). Add to that the FCC putting an indefinite "freeze" on new television licenses that lasted until 1952 also didn't help matters. The number of CBS stations lagged behind the others for many years in the 1950's.
That would require a refined, polite and well-spoken audience.
BWAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Never again!
"back than" "we'dd"
I would love to have his “sign in” signature!
He was a household name, not only a legendary artist ,writer, film maker, illustrator...but a Dali too.
a Dali! omg
Dali was answering truthfully when asked about being active in "sports"...,he was
an avid soccer fan&player!
Happy 111th Birthday Sal!!
If they asked "Are you an alien?" I know what his answer would have been.
Is this supposed to be funny?
Do you think this is a motherfucking game or comedy show ?
HA ?
Ayoob Marafie "Yes"
No it isn't
Technically he was an alien because at that time in America, foreigners were known as aliens
Salvador Dali had a great personality!
Never knew that.
He's funny, charming and humble
I hope to meet him one day.
Dude's signature is 100000x better than any kind of art I'll ever do.
This was probably one of the funniest epiisodes I've seen lol. Dali is just great.
It's very funny.Try viewing him interviewed on The Merv Griffin show,that's hilarious.
The way they all speak is so eloquent and dignified, I wish more people spoke like this.
Is it really that different?
YES!
People were so cultured and classy back then. So nice to be able to listen and watch them.
Yes they were polite and repressed
That was so refreshing to watch. Thank you for uploading.
Talk about a classy television program. They don't make them like this anymore.
@Regina George why? Is it because it makes you feel higher class then you are?
@@aspider3254 Damn, you took the words out of my mouth. There are certainly programs probably like this out there. It's just that the tastes of the people who watch TV now don't prefer some dude in a suit talking like he's giving a speech at the country club for every little instance.
@@WaldoFindsYo but why is "talking fancy" better?
@@aspider3254 idk what you mean
Well this kind of programs looks more healthy. Not only vocabulary. Nobody is fighting or shouting. Nodoby is doing something stupid. Just healthy fun.
Bring back this show! I think it could still work now, it's timeless.
it still comes on tv
Bring it back but have the panel be guessing internet handles.
It wouldn't work if they revived it. It would be so trashy and full of loser reality "stars"
I t could absolutely work with the right comedians and newspeople
There's a French thing like this that still exists but on the radio
after 14 years of waiting finally, youtube recommended it to me,
For those who grew up watching 'What's My Line?" on TV when you are young or been a teen, you're a true boomer.
''The difference between me, and a mad man, is that I am not mad!'''

"Is there something quite unusual about our guest?" The correct answer would have been a resounding YES.
i love the host. He's really articulate and on top of the situation. A rare sight today
The unique mustache he had, just wonderful 😌
I love the english of that period!
“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”― Leonardo da Vinci.
This video is priceless; just watching him write his name is amazing. Peter Lawford is Mr Lawford, always enjoyed him as an actor.
Love the way the host eloquently and politely describes Dali's voyeurism on that clothing question
this is the greatest thing i've ever seen.
It's one of the greatest things I have ever seen too.Now I can;t stop watching Dali interviews because he's so funny.
YES
It looks like such a strain for him to say the word no. He builds up his energy then his head wobbles and he releases this short sharp puff of air.
How on earth did she think to ask the mustache question! This was soo entertaining ❤️😂
I absolutely love this video. I feel it really demonstrates how we don't have to define ourselves by a single trait, and even though others perception of one might be narrow, it does not always incapsulate a whole person. Although Dali was indeed exceptional, theres no saying anyone couldn't indulge in, and even find success in many different fields
"Is there something quite unusual about our guest?!".. haha!
Thank you for posting!
lol
The man was too cool for that show.
+Neil Jo
Neil Jo well his wife, Gala, signed him up for such ventures...money in them thar hills. And in the staid fifties, Dali and the Beats made for interesting cocktail conversation, so says my mom.
Yes,I agree.
I think the show was pretty cool lol
"Is there something quite unusual about our guest?"
He seems so fun ! He’s one of my fav artists ❤️I would love to have met him ... also it’s so strange to see an old film be so relatable and joyful. It’s just weird seeing people from the 1930s talk , I’m used to seeing “old” videos being boring and cold . But this feels so warm and familiar , it’s almost like a game show today !
Salvador Dali was the original internet troll, DECADES before the internet!
Not really.
Guernicaman the pope’s ring was kissed in his hand.
The Dadaists could really be considered the original shitposters lmao. Dalí and his surrealist contemporaries built on that
"Have you ever fought Nazi Ninjas on the moon?"
"Yes."
Unlikely, as he was a Fascist who supported Franco.
No, they were Samurai
@@andyrenshaw9148 Supporting Franco is not being a fascist, you empty head.
Guy on his left: "I need to clear that up a bit..."
@@andresmartinez2345 so you're telling me that supporting a nationalist dictator, who himself was supported by Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, arguably the two most well known fascists in existence, does not make you a fascist?
God damn, he ran those four people in about seven circles 😂😂😂
J'adore Salvador Dali et c'est un très beau spectacle. Je ne savais pas qu'il y avait une telle chose à l'époque. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo. :-) Je n'ai jamais vu Salvador Dali en direct. C'était un gars vraiment sympa ! 🙂
....'Is there something unusual about our guest?' ha ha ha!!
excellent,one of the best comments on the show
I'll say!
The only time Dali rubs his chin is when she says that
Almost everything is unusual about him !
Com'on folks, he is incredibly charming, avant garde and unique! And he has done more than most!
I love how, at the end, the men stand up to shake hands, and the women only give her hand.
Such good manners at the time !
My favorite painter of them all. He a did a lot more than most people would know, like being one of the first to experiment with holograms: He made one of Alice Cooper, dressed as an Indian playing a tom tom, made money as a teenager to promote his artistic talent, painting paintings on rich ladies fingernails, who outbid each other to get an appointment. Of course it grew into murals on the walls of their houses, and paintings for their walls, so he was also a great business man and self promoter.
I saw him in Munich in 82 at the botanical gardens where they had children paint on the lower windows of a greenhouse (a tropical garden). It was part of it's opening event and he was there to help the kids paint their botanical creations by showing them some techniques. He was in a wheelchair by that time, but could still whip out an intricate flower in mere seconds you would think takes at least 1/2 hour to paint, and with way less strokes you would think possible, by dabbing on colors, and then pulling them into shape, and mixing them at the same time, getting thick and thin lines by twisting the brush, and changing the pressure on it.
Wow, thats cool you got to see him! :D
