Subconscious Imagery and paranoiac critical.

As I mentioned earlier, this post was going to concentrate on the effect Sigmond Freud's writing of erotic subconscious imagery had on Dali, and how the development of a method Dali referred to as "paranoiac critical" enhanced his painting skills, and led him to mature as an artist. In this dreamworld state, of subconsciousness Dali created some of his finest works of art that resulted in him being referred to as one of the world's best surrealists.

Also, what had great influences on Dali, were the Paris surrealists, whose emphasis was on man's subconscious over his reason. One of Dali's most famous paintings, "The persistence of memory", painted in the paranoiac critical period, it is directly influenced by Albert Einstein's theory about time being relative, and not fixed. Hence the detailed melting clock depicting the fluidity of time. A genius view. He painted the melting of the clocks and the pentagram(also present in his version of the las supper) introducing a new dimension, and supporting a scientific theory.

Dali's dreamworld was further connected with another genius, Alfred Hitchcock. He used Dali's famous dreamworld sequence for the movie (Spellbound 1945). Dali very clearly depicted how repressed experiences can directly trigger neuroses. Also, he was deeply inspired by science, and science's role in art. Hypercube and DNA, to be precise. Dali's art reached for a furthermore sense of creativity, a fourth dimension.
