They're pretty beautiful. I got to see a show of them in Dubrovnik this summer and I was really glad I did.

Now I want a Ralph Steadman version

I have a copy of a Steadman-illustrated Animal Farm and it was cool to be read that as a kid

He also made a Disney movie. I saw it at MOMA a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing

That's the trippiest shit I've seen in a while. And yet so beautiful.

Destino! It’s on Disney+! It’s fantastic.

He was also a bit of a nazi.

if_a_flutterby t1_iso6sng wrote on October 17, 2022 at 1:27 PM

That's so sad, I heard that he was very anti Semitic, and it broke my heart. Coco Chanel was a nazi sympathizer too

Different times

The 5000 fingers of Dr. T? Saw it as a kid and thought it was totally normal stuff. I’m totally normal now.

So I searched it and Dali didn’t have anything to do with this movie. It just looks that way.

That's the only live action film Dr. Seuss helped make

JustVan t1_ismjyjl wrote on October 17, 2022 at 2:25 AM

These... aren't even very good drawings... I mean, I know art is subjective, and Dali is a specifically weird artist, but... even for Dali these feel sloppy, unfinished, haphazard, or just like blobs. And what is with the weird repeating image of a girl arms above her head holding a curved thing, with a weird shadow of it? It's like he created some artistic trick and repeated it over and over again like you did with that weird S in junior high.

The super short article linked actually explains that.

JustVan t1_ismobqa wrote on October 17, 2022 at 3:00 AM

I mean, it mentions it... doesn't explain why it's there. Or why it's there so many times. Or why the rest of the art looks like shit.

I hope the guy who commissioned them was happy with them, lol.

DishGroundbreaking87 t1_islsiz6 wrote on October 16, 2022 at 10:56 PM

He designed the chupa chups logo as well, because why not?

ZorroMeansFox t1_isn5q9i wrote on October 17, 2022 at 5:56 AM

That shadow-woman holding aloft the curved shape was original designed for the abandoned 1946 short animated movie Dali did for Walt Disney, Destino --where we see that this figure morphs from a tower bell into a woman:

Was really sad to find out he was a deep fascist

He was profoundly eccentric. fascism is among the more tame of his belief systems. Lol.

iglidante t1_isoatma wrote on October 17, 2022 at 1:59 PM

Honestly, his views were way more than eccentric.

100%. An understatement for sure.

Dali wanted to fuck hitler.

TIL artist Salvador Dali illustrated a 1969 edition of Alice in Wonderland, with only 2,700 copies printed. It included twelve illustrations and a front-cover etching signed by Dali himself. Signatures of Dali can be spotted throughout, such as the melting clock found at the Mad Tea Party.
