He also had an awesome ocelot named Babou

[–]kobun253 88 points89 points ago

I've never seen an ocelot

[–]vagaryblue 25 points26 points ago

[–]beatlesmith 19 points20 points ago

YES, ALL OF IT, YOU FOX EARED ASSHOLE

That ocelot is desperate to play with something...It's like...Meow-schwitz in there.

      It's an anteater

      [–]joulesisenergy 405 points406 points ago

      Okay, that makes sense. My mind was trying to make his left leg be some sort of dog's head and thus the anteater's head had to be some sort of cannon...

      [–]EllaPlushenko 219 points220 points ago

                My reaction to finding out it was in fact an anteater.

                [–]Megatitss 3 points4 points ago

                That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it, and I still didn't know it was an anteater until now.

                          It's Dali giving a fuck. The dude was all about attention. Idiots on reddit thought he wasn't giving a fuck.

                          He was a genius though.

                          [–]biddlydiddlydeedly 18 points19 points ago

                          Upvoting because you nailed it. My grandmother knew Dali and he told her he created this persona because he wanted fame, recognition, money, etc. while he was alive, as opposed to most other artists, who only achieved these things after they died.

                              I literally sat there for 3 minutes trying to eyeball whether or not that was a dog. Then I came to the comments to see if anyone else was having this problem.

                              I saw this and nearly pissed myself laughing. Have an upvote! I needed someone to confirm that I was not going insane!

                                      I thought the right front leg was a badger. Possibly due to the way he knotted it; it looks as if it's tied around two necks.

                                      I had a family friend who modeled for Dali naked, anyways she fell asleep and he ejaculated on her and later apologized for not penetrating her. Her name was Constance Webb and she was a family friend of my mothers.

                                      The red paint is heart-burn/acidic pain and the black paint is the Alka-Seltzer covering the pain.

                                          Dali got his comeuppance, when he was taking a cruise, and someone presented him with a large, inflated Bugs Bunny as a gift, likely at the behest of Bob Clampett, who was a big fan of Dali. Initially Dali was freaked out by it and didn't even want it on the ship. But he changed his mind and said:

                                          "This is a thousand times more frightening than 'The Exorcist.' I intend to cover it with mayonnaise."

                                          I may get a lot of downvotes, but here this goes. In my somewhat limited study of Dali, he did crazy, strange, and odd things more as a marketing scheme. Not saying his art isn't amazing, just that in a lot of ways he did give a fuck and the fuck he gave was for people to stare and point at him. Lobster Phone, that's all I'm saying.

                                          Very true. You don't walk around with an anteater because you hate attention.

                                            Agreed. 99% of the time when I see a post stating "x doesn't give a fuck" my first thought is "he gave a great many fucks - about getting attention. That's why he went so out of his way..."

                                            It's paradoxical. If you do things to conform to the norm, you give a fuck about the norms. If you go out of your way to break the norms, you also give a fuck, to get attention. Not giving a fuck would be crazy cat person, just loving life and not giving a fuck about what that supposedly says about them, or accidentally noticing that you're wearing mismatched shoes and thinking "Eh, too late to change that now." But that's definitely not as interesting as walking an anteater around.

                                            Of course. It's the odd things that catch people's attention. Look at Lady GaGa and Sasha Baron Cohen just for starters. Our lives are never ending routine, we want something different, crazy, out of the ordinary. Surely most of it's acting and marketing, but that's what we want - something different!

                                            I've been to the Dali Museum in St. Pete twice, and was fortunate enough to happen to go during the "Daliwood" Dali in Film exhibit. His work in film was amazing. Also, my favorite painting of all time, The Hallucinogenic Toreador, is in that museum. It's a truly incredible piece and photos don't even come close to doing it justice (the actual painting is over 12 feet tall!)... seriously, if you ever get the chance to see it in person, go!

                                              He also liked money. A lot. So if he could rack up some cash for public stunts, he did them. But I agree that he was a phenomenal artist, and he didn't paint just for money. His art had a lot of meaning, sometimes because it had no meaning at all.

                                              This should be the top comment. If you're walking an anteater, you're looking for attention, and you give one serious fuck.

                                              This is an obvious publicity stunt. Dali gave great fucks about what people thought of him.

                                              This is basically what I came here to say. Been to the Dali museum in Figueras, and his stuff is absolutely, mind-blowingly incredible, and only a person living on another plane of existence could have thought of it. It was prescient and so much of it seemed to predict advancements in technology which nobody of his time would have possibly been able to envision.

                                              But that said, he definitely tried a little too hard to be weird. He certainly gave a fuck.

                                              Like Duchamp and Warhol, I'm guessing part of his point was that it can be silly to draw a line between art and artifice, although sometimes the line is the best bit.

                                              he was an asshole. Catching a bat and letting it die of starvation while ants eat at it in a cage makes you an asshole

                                              As much as I am fascinated by Dali, he was very much indeed an asshole. When asked of his most surreal moment he responded about the time when he snuck up behind a stranger who was blind, and gave him a boot up the ass.

                                                    Come on. You cannot do something so obviously attention grabbing and claim you do not give a fuck. Dali definitely cared a lot about his public image and cultivated his eccentric persona.

                                                    You know people who do not really give a fuck? Those "people of walmart" fellas. They really do not care what you think of think of them.

                                                    He had a traumatic experience as a child with a bird he was trying to nurse back to health. It died and when he found it dead there were ants crawling all over its body. This scarred him and you can find ants in almost, if not all, of his art. Dali was a phenomenal artist.

                                                      Dali's anteater lead quite the life, as immortalized in Edward Hooper's Nighthwaks.

                                                      TYL that Salvador Dali owned a giant anteater, while the Fuck You I'm An Anteater is actually a tamandua.

                                                      Tamandua are a genus of anteaters

                                                        He actually cared too much what people thought of him. This is what someone who truly doesn't give a fuck looks like

                                                        Is he walking out of a Parisian subway?

                                                        I can't find mention of it anywhere online but I remember reading his autobiography and him saying he was terrified by riding the subway. Those Parisian subway stops are beautiful.

                                                        I wonder if it's just steps as he expressed that subways were for losers: "Any artist over the age of 30 who takes the subway is a failure".

                                                        Perhaps, it's anything for a pose?

                                                        Dali gave a fuck. In fact, other people's attention was the only thing he gave a fuck about, after his wife's hunger for money.

                                                        I came to this realization while watching Dali as a guest on "What's My Line?".

                                                        Dali is hilarious. I'm not much of an art guy, but I visited the Dali museum and it was awesome.

                                                        Of all the all-time-famous artists, Dali` is easily my favorite. His paintings are just absolutely magnificent. He was ultra talented, no doubt a timeless artist. If you ever have the chance to go to a gallery of his, do it. I promise you won't regret it.

                                                        I don't know, I kind of feel like he did give a fuck. As much as he was definitely on another planet and ahead of his time and quite a talent, sometimes I do feel like he tried a bit too hard. He definitely cultivated the whole "I'm weird!" thing. Like he spent a lot of time acting weird instead of just being weird, y'know?

                                                        Great picture, but I beg to differ with regard to your conclusion. I would submit that Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech very much gave a fuck. He was an artist, a surrealist, and therefore very invested in being provocative, in being noticed, in being talked about. No doubt walking an anteater through an urban setting is trés, trés, cool and jauntily non-conformist, but it is begging for attention, which seems to me the opposite of not giving a fuck. IMHO. I'm ready for my down votes Mr. DeVille.

                                                        Yes he did. That's why he went through all the trouble of being dali, the beard, the anteater etc... All that shit takes effort.

                                                        Why should we stop at Dali? Most people don't care about art and just "know" that the mona lisa is "good art" although without the context the painting is really not remarkable.

                                                          And learn from my mistake... don't do multiple hits of LSD and peruse a book of Dali's artwork unless you understand the Paranoiac Critical Method that Dali developed and employed.
