Casually Exceptional

They didn't call Salvador Dali "Avida Dollars" for nothing. "Avida Dollars" is an anagram for Salvador Dali meaning "hungry for cash" (Remember Lord Voldermort is an anagram for Tom Marvolo Riddle?). This attribute of his is most

prominent after he moved to New-York City at the time of World War II. Dali was full of himself and didn't deny it. He loved being the spotlights and pursued attention through many provocations.

 

One example of such provocation was the writing on Dali's piece "The sacred Heart" saying "Sometimes I Spit with Pleasure on the Portrait of my Mother". That was really weird seeing how Dali's mother passed away by that time and Dali and his mother had a very close relationship. Well, his father probably didn't understand art seeing as how he disowned Dali and threw him out of the house. But maybe Dali was simply misunderstood because he was a holy genius apparently. Dali left a small note for the world saying: "Every morning upon awakening, I experience a supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dalí, and I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will he do today, this Salvador Dalí." Might be every homeless man I hear proclaim himself holy, be also a genius artist?

Don't get me wrong. I love some of Dali's works and I grew up on his melting clocks and long

 legged elephants. It's just that there are a lot of skeletons hidden in Dali's closet not being mentioned through the media. You only hear citations Dali himself used. Why should such a person be promoted if not only he was obnoxious and there were many other artists who were no worse than Dali? See Max Ernst works for instance. The only difference there is between Ernst and Dali is that Dali more famous.

Thank for reading and don't forget to share and recommend!
