Why include unfounded 'charges' by the old croc Breton?[edit]
Who cares what Breton thought? He had a personal feud with Dali, was jealous of him, and ejected all of his various fellow Surrealists from 'his' movement, not just Dali. Dali may have made a joke about Hitler, which the Communist Breton wouldn't tolerate, but lazy writers from then on mindlessly repeat the smear, based on no foundation, over and over. Dali had a sense of humor; Breton didn't. All Breton had was his little witch trials over his movement. His desertion from France after the invasion of 1940 made sure that he was never taken seriously again. 47.232.145.208 (talk) 02:39, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dalì's views on race and fascism are well known and accurately described and sourced in the article. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 06:58, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the citation: "Revolution of the mind : the life of André Breton", Mark Polizzotti, pub. 1995, pp.396 especially, and other pages regarding Dali, who was in Breton's Surrealist group. This book is at archive.org if you want to check it out. Eventually Dali and almost everyone else was thrown out of Breton's Surrealist clique for the crime of displeasing Breton.
The anecdote about Dali drawing on checks betting that the restaurant owner would not cash a original work by Dali in the Personality section has no real source. Only a link to an art authenticator service who themselves give no sources. Further, due to the link being improperly archived, the page does not mention the check anecdote at all. In a reddit thread from 10 years ago someone posted the text from the authenticator service which the article was attempting to source from. Long story short, the webpage itself gave no sources of its own and, in fact, brought up the fact that a supposedly common Dali check drawing has never shown up at auction. I suggest the anecdote is removed if nobody is able to find a better source. Medibee (talk) 04:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I support your change. Looks like an urban myth. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 23:54, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hallo - with respect to 'There are two major museums devoted to Salvador Dalí's work: the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain, and the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.' Woukd someone with editing access either delete 'Spain' or add 'US' after 'Florida'. Danke. 2003:D3:FF14:3635:A521:98D8:C70E:6886 (talk) 17:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The "U.S." was already present when this request was written. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 18:31, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps IP 2003 meant the lead section? I have adjusted the wording and linking accordingly. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:37, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
