Alle kender surrealisten Salvador Dali (1904-1989). Alle børn kender Salvador Dali. De har i hvert fald på et eller andet tidspunkt set et billede af hans mest berømte maleri Hukommelsens bestandighed fra 1931 (som hænger på Museum of Modern Art i New York og er meget mindre, end man skulle tro). På dette klip svarer en ældre Dali på, hvad han har bidraget med til kunsten. ”Til kunsten. Ingenting. Absolut ingenting. For jeg har altid sagt, at jeg er en meget dårlig maler. jeg er alt for intelligent til at være en god maler. Hvis man vil være en god maler, skal man være en lille smule dum.” (Foto: Hukommelsens elendighed, 1931. Scanpix/Reuters/Museum of Modern Art)
Eight decades have passed since Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali and filmmaker Luis Bunuel portrayed a man slicing a woman's eyeball with a razor - - yet viewers still wince, groan and cover their eyes. Dali's painting "Persistence of Memory' from The Museum of Modern Art is pictured. The sequence opens the 16-minute film "Un chien adalou" (An Andalusian Dog), which is one several of films running in an infinite loop at a new exhibition called "Dali: Painting and Film" at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York City.
