People seem to think they lived mostly or entirely in the 1800’s. The fact that Rick Wakeman of the rock bands Yes and The Strawbs had once pushed Dalí offstage in 1970 is such a weird overlap of eras.
France used the guillotine for the last time in 1977.
There is still one Blockbuster store open, located in Bend, Oregon.
holy crap you made me look that up and woa. official form of execution till they stopped capital punishment so they never officially used anything else.
Granted Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, where you could see the transition into cubism, was from 1907. He continued to create famous abstract works well into the 50s.
Dali’s famous The Persistence of Memory (the melting clocks) is from 1931.
It’s wild that people think of the abstract movement pre-1900s to me! Pre-1900 was the Impressionists, and with Art Nouveau coming in at the turn of the century.
The 1930’s was really primed for the abstract modern painters.
Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)

Dalí was a huge Alice Cooper fan
Alice Cooper babysat Keanu Reeves. His mom met Cooper when she was a costume designer.
That is a fact that seems so believable that it’s unbelievable. But it’s also true!

Yeah, I have no idea why people would associate things so definingly “modern” with the 19th century!
Salvador Dali was almost the emperor in Jodorowsky’s Dune.
I say almost as if there was only one thing holding them back from making it…
