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.

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.
