"The Enigma of Hitler".

Estate of Salvador Dali/Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid.

Salvador Dali's ... enigmatic postwar painting, "The Enigma of Hitler". Salvador may not have been so ... ambivalent (?) about Fascism while it was still live in its original manifestation; but it is hard to know. He was, after all, enigmatic. Apparently, this painting resulted in Dali being "thrown out of the Surrealist Movement". That is, really, a mind-blowing concept - how does one get thrown out of a Movement that was not exactly noted for membership lists and rule books ? A bit like being thrown out of Alcoholics Anonymous for Not Drinking in the Wrong Way ... but then, AA is pretty enigmatic itself ... Yours from the Far Side of Antares, JR.
