Los cornudos del viejo arte moderno (Esenciales, Band 1)

During the 1950's, Dali was worried with the way art critics dutifully remained under the dictatorship of the artistic vanguards, in particular, the most modern movement: abstract art. He made his opinions about art criticism and art critics known in articles, in diaries, and in texts full of irony such as "Los cornudos del viejo arte moderno. As far as Dali was concerned, ever since art critics married old modern painting, it had not ceased to cheat on them: with ugliness, with technique, and with abstract art. Dali wrote this text in French, in 1956, during one of his Atlantic travels, and it was published in that same year in France, from which this edition was translated.
