Notes on "This is Modern Art"
- Dali was a romantic torcher artist who was later known as a betrayer the rest of the artists.
- soft self portrait which was a self portrait with bacon
- Dali was famous, many people had his books and paintings, when he was so famous he went to America but they rejected him thinking he was only a publicity speaker
- one of the most famous commercial artists
- he followed his own style nobody else.
- he was very money orientated
- he was very outrageous and wasn't abstract but strange
- the anxiety's of publicity, money, fame and hype in modern art was around just not as emphasised
- Andre Breton called Salvador Dali "Avida Dollars" which translates at "greedy money"
- Dali bought Al Capone's Cadillac through the amount of money he made.
Group discussion.
- he made sense of the strange world
Un Chien Andalou
- black and white mute film
- uses other props to direct the real the wrong way
- used a cows eye to replace a humans eye to slit open
- guy fell off a bike and hit head on curb and died
- woman takes his clothes and lays them out on his bed to memorise him
- he appears in the room with a hole in his hand and ants crawling out of it
- she has hairy armpits which changes to another shot which leads to a hand severed off
- hand shot and bike man and referenced into 2 different pieces
- the bike man turns rapey after he sees another woman being hit by a car
- pulls 2 pianos with dead cows on towards woman into a room
- two men are attached to the rope being pulled
- guy gets nervous whilst in bed when another guy walks in and picks him out of bed
- Throws all his dressage out of the window and removes all identity of the man in bed
- both men are the same guy which could be referenced to the guy being crazy and having two persona's, a good side and an evil side.
- good guy gets shot and jumps to a woods shot with him dying
- shot jumps back to woman and man in house with a moth which has a skull pattern on its back
- they skip to a beach shot through a door with a man outside on the beach and the woman approaches him
- they both find the box from the guy at the start on the beach broken with the guys dressage attached to it.
- The film had no story line but the plot was their to confuse you.
