Salvador DALÍ – Autograph manuscript signed on his Genius.

Salvador Dali (1904.1989)

Signed autograph manuscript.

A folio page in blue ink.

Without place. December 17, 1955 (dating from another hand in lower left corner)

Extraordinary manuscript summarizing Dalí's entire personality in a few lines.

Since my early childhood I have played at wanting to be a genius and I became one! Dalí 1955.

Dalí responds here to a survey carried out in 1955 among various artists, and affirms his genius in the face of the two questions asked:

1) Has life fulfilled the promises of your childhood?

2) Did you succeed in your work?

We attach the little handwritten note of these two questions.

Note: For better reading, we have Frenchified Dalí's phonetic writing; Here is the original version, faithful to the text: “Since my early childhood, I wanted to be a genius and I became one! »

Splendid and imposing signature of Dali projecting a myriad of ink.
