Imens i livet hos Salvador Dalí

Hele livet

1936
A lecture in a diving suit in London
At the International Surrealist Exhibition in London Dalí lectured in a deep-sea diving suit and helmet, which had to be unscrewed when he gasped for breath. “I just wanted to show that I was plunging deeply into the human mind,” he said.
1936
The Spanish Civil War and Lorca's death
The Civil War found Dalí in London. On learning that his friend Lorca had been executed by Nationalist forces, he claimed to have shouted “Olé!”, yet he referred to the poet in his art and writings for the rest of his life; he never took a public stand for or against the Republic.
1936
MoMA show and the cover of Time
Dalí took part in MoMA's “Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism” and held a solo show at Julien Levy's; “Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War)” drew particular attention. On 14 December the 32-year-old Dalí was on the cover of Time magazine.
March 1938
Meets Sigmund Freud
Thanks to Stefan Zweig, Dalí met Freud and sketched his portrait; Freud whispered, “That boy looks like a fanatic.” The next day Freud wrote to Zweig that he had regarded the Surrealists as complete fools, but “that young Spaniard, with his candid fanatical eyes” had changed his estimate.
April 1939
The break with Buñuel
Soon after Franco's victory in the Civil War, Dalí wrote to Luis Buñuel denouncing socialism and Marxism and praising Catholicism and the Falange, and Buñuel broke off relations with him.
May 1939
Breton expels him from the Surrealists
In the May issue of Minotaure André Breton announced Dalí's expulsion from the Surrealist group, accusing him of espousing race war and repudiating Surrealist automatism. Many Surrealists then broke off relations with him.
