Salvador Dalí and Sigmund Freud on Snails, Bicycles and the Spirals of Thought

#sigmundfreud #salvadordalí #surrealism Freud and Dalí met in 1938 in London, via the writer Stefan Zweig who arranged for a meeting in Freud’s home. While Freud and Dalí did not talk to another at this occasion, they do so here. In particular, they discuss Dalí infamous depiction of Freud’s head as a snail-like structure. Was this just another misunderstanding between Surrealism and psychoanalysis, or was it a way for developing a an innnovative morphology of human thought?
