but he also said a painting is never done until sold - and I seen some where Dali had added bits and pieces long after said paintings already appeared in publications.
Do you have references that he ever said anything like this? I don't think he could have finished "Tuna Fishing" in 3 days ..... too bad I cannot ask Ernst Fuchs anymore (though there is a long video presentation in the Fuchs Villa where a lot of their meetings and conversations are preserved).
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
i went back and watched his original quote and you are right, i got it somewhat wrong, he said "If cannot finish a painting in 3 days- I write to it-incomplete." Dali said this on the 3rd day of visiting Fuchs. you can find the quote here at 24:40 on this video interview with Fuchs
also i was under the impression that Dali had Parkinson disease by late 60s early 70s and Tuna fishing might fall under "painted by Dali's assistants" who painted all his large scale awesome work in the last years.
good video - that must have been at the Palffy. He seems relaxed, not often seen without his cap.
