surrealism comes to the Big Apple

Without a doubt, Salvador Dalí was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. His surreal paintings surprised and entertained art lovers the world over. The surrealism extended to him personally, with his handlebar mustache. Someone once asked Dalí if he used drugs and he answered "I am drugs."

Jack Bond's 1965 documentary "Dali in New York" looks at the painter's trip to the Big Apple, where he put on some projects and schmoozed with the beautiful people (some of the women reminded me of those depicted on "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans").

The documentary isn't much to call home about, as it's only an hour and calls into question the relationship between artist and fan. Even so, it's interesting to see this brief period when the king of surrealism spent some time in the city that never sleeps. I think that it's available on DVD, but I watched it on YouTube.
