Some Vastly Creative Titles by S. Dali (1930's)

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post

Love him or not, there seems to be little middle ground with Salvador Dali. What I find probably-peripherally interesting in Dali's writings are the titles of them...maybe more so than the written piece itself--perhaps that is because I enter such deep shallow pool in them where I become lost or bored or just cleaved up in misunderstanding...it is all a possibility.  One thing that is inarguable I think are the titles of some of his works.  For example, I wanted to share a few that are found in the Surrealist-laden but not-necessarily-Surrealist art magazine, Minotaure (1933-1939):

• "Non-Euclidean Psychology of a Photograph"
• "The Spectral Surrealism of Eternal Pre-Raphaelite Femineity"
• "First Morphological Law relating to Soft Structure"
• "A Paranoiac-Critical Interpretation  of the Obsessive Image of Millet's Angelus"
• "Concerning the Terrifying and Edible Beauty of Art Nouveau"
• "The New Colouras of Spectral Sex-Appeal"
• "The Aerodynamic Apparition of Object Beings"
