[edit] Que?

This article isn't really clear. How does one use the method? What is it really? Currently all it seems to give is vague talk about holding multiple images on one's mind and about fundamental crises of art. --Gwern (contribs) 00:53 5 December 2006 (GMT)

[edit] Answer to the Question Above

Dali created this method through the influences of psychoanalyism of Sigmund Frued. The point is to create objects in a painting to "trick" people to say there "first thought" upon seeing the painting. Dali would create suggestible sights of sexuallity and etc. in his paintings to make the viewer question what is going on and dispute its sexual or other wise stereotypical views upon painted objects. Once the viewer states in his own mind or to others what he thinks about the painting, the viewer is usually wrong about the meaning because he or she will certainly refer it to sexual implications, fetishes and desires. Thats the jest of it even though it goes deeper than that. Deeper as being it has it's roots to the writings of Sigmund Frued's quite logical text. - This here would be a fine example of Paranoidic method. I typed sexual and deeper which one could possibly pick these words up and correalate them before any other words. This is the method, using innocent means to let the subconscience make its own ends of it. If you can't understand that then just note that it was all influenced by Frued's ideas of relations of narcisism, sexuality and paranoia; this is what it is all based off of. Frued says that through latent stages of the child the child develops natural narcism which is later lost but in some individuals it can be short circuited into adult hood and thus you have the mental disease of narcism. This adult hood narcism will grow into the sexual finds of one's own egotism and then paranoia arises from this. So from paranoia creates 'criticism' ( not in harshness or the sorts but by just trying to seek the purpose or meaning of the art) of the art work.

Its been a while since I studied this area of Surrealism but this is a better understanding of the technique I've seen written on wikipedia so far. I'm not going to post anything on the page because I'm tired of people bagging me because I don't have sited sources. So if you want to site some sources and all that bull shiesa go ahead.
