Salvador Dali was art's greatest clown, but was he also one of its great geniuses? Journalist Alastair Sooke traces the life and work of the popular surrealist artist, travelling throughout Europe and America. From his origins in turn-of-the-century Spain, to his high jinx in New York in the 1970s, Sook reveals this artist's fascinating life story and explains the thinking behind and impact of his most famous works.
Sooke reveals the pervading influence of Dali and his brand of surrealism. Featuring testimonies from Alfred Hitchcock and excerpts from the film Dali made with Walt Disney, Destino, as well as looking at contemporary advertising, this programme shows how the hand of Dali has touched almost every aspect of popular culture.

"i don't know what it means but I like looking at it." this pretty much sums up the smart american pragmatism of disney vs the bullshit knob polishing eurofail garbage art historian point of view expressed by modern art critics.

that dali inspired disney animation is in another universe of badass epic inventiveness and beauty than anything that dali created himself.

Very, very depressing, the BBC treating art like a music video. Perhaps Dali would have appreciated it, but I doubt Mattise or Picasso would have.
