This film is the first to show the artist interviewed. Adam Low used interviews with Dali himself. He used many other methods of delivering this information.
1. narration
2. interviews
3. books
4. paintings
5. news
To me, the most interest painting by Dali is "Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of New Man." Painted in 1943, in is thought to be a parody of WWII showing a man emerging from a "new" nation as the United States is becoming a world power. The first thing that draws my eye is the body emerging from what looks to be a shell of some sort. Then I am drawn to the overall mood of the painting. The combination of warm yellow and cool grey gives the work an erie, sort of creepy mood.
Working surreally changes the interactions between art and artists because it allows for the artist to live the art they create, making the connections closer. The audience however, may not understand or connect with the this art the way they would normally because they cannot relate to the moment that the artist lived.
