"Just as he has apology for the Modern Style and the erotic load of this art where stones shudder, where ornaments wind and tend impudently, where, under the balconies, bloom strange figures of women to the body of lianas, Dali praised Meissonnier, a maniac of applied precision and B. Inspired by these various techniques, he painted his mental universe, cynically exploiting dreams and imaginations that are pure psychiatric matter. Hence these paranoid forms where the principle of identity is exhausted and resigns and which take up the mythological dream of double monsters, these anamorphic objects, these cannibalistic objects which end with irresistible needs to bite, these liquid desires and so many phantasms where the universal soul is exhaled with delirium. Art has become exhibitionism. He reveals the evil from which the total unconscious suffers in his incessant work, in his tears and his conflicts, his productions of images, his dreams, his fantasies, his speeches."
