Dali Reformino

Salvador Dali again has announced that he
Is done with surrealism. He said as much in
December, 1949; but on this occasion he seems
to mean that he definitely is through with the
Freudian movement in art What has happened
is expressed in the painters declaration that:
I'VE used to regard psychology as the big prob
lem But now religion and physics are more
vital problems" 1t seems that the author of
those words has quit fad to find faith.
The Madonna of Port Lgat which Dali
displayed last year, is followed by representa-
tion of Christ on the cross. This latest compost
tion does not lack imaginative IDEAS The artist
is romanticist. But he also is an excellent
draftsman-when he wants to be. Even in his
most repulsive creations he drew accurately.
The limp and dripping watches" of his extremist
conceptions did not cease to be watches If he
painted beach, it looked like a beach; fruit
dish, as he saw it, remained fruit dish despite
its distortions.
Thus Freudianism and Dadaism never quite
completely captured Dali. If he now is defying
them, it is fair to believe that he likewise is
escaping them altogether and conclusively The
turning over of new easel" which he pro-
claimed for himself in explanation of his Ma
donna was something more than an alteration
of style. Dali insisted that 1t was Change of
heart" To return to such horrors as his ghasty
illustrations for Maurice Sandoz' Fantastic
Memories" would be, in effect, retreat in the
direction of madness.
OF course, Dali no longer is as young as he
was in the days of his adventurous extrava-
gances. The grotesqueries of his youth should
have been outgrown. He has ceased to need to
be shocking in order to attract attention At
least, that is what the more conservative critics
appear to believe-and to hope. Dali is one
Of the greatest technicians of our time. If he
will use his technique on religion and physics,
he may achieve results beyond even his own most
ardent aspiration.
Meanwhile, he has set an example for other
disilusioned modernists who may be weary Of
radical experimentation. Dali is moving toward
realities of eternal significance. Some of his
contemporaries, not only in painting but In
music, literature, and architecture too, soon may
head in TIE scnA direction. It may be sympso-

Apparently foreseeing some
difficulty about cutting her small

Livingston put in her win a

Hardly that. The exercises

Scott hesitated. I'D say no.
