  14. El surrealismo • Both Breton and Sigmund Freud influenced Dalí. • Some years after Dalí joined the group of surrealists, Breton rejected him, accusing him of supporting fascism, of excessive, selfish publicity and of financial greed.

  15. En sus propias palabras • “At the age of 3 I wanted to be a cook. At the age of 5 I wanted to be Napo-león. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.” • “The difference between the surrealists and me is that I am a surrealist.” The Ghost of the Evening, 1930
