...from two yards change into three Lenines masquerading as Chinese and as seen from six yards appear as the head of a royal tiger. The painting lives up to every detail in its title. Explains Dali: "Eeet is like le floor of a hotel room que je stayed in avec mosaic and a rug shaped like the head of a tigre." The heads of Lenin, filling triangles between the mosaic squares are disguised as Fu Manchu, and the whole work forms a tiger head...
...best-known work, Le Marteau sans Maitre (Hammer Without a Master), was first performed for a public of more than musical specialists at the 1955 festival in Aix-en-Provence. The critics from the newspapers of Marseille who had come up for the festival reviewed the work.

Il est joue avec une force, vraiment une ferocite, qui laisse le spectateur lui-meme epuise apres quelques scenes. Mais c'etait une force quelquefois ingouvernable--chez Marguerite Jamois (Agrippine), Hubert Noel (Brittanicus), et Jacques Francois (Neron, un monstre ne peut-etre plutot qu'un monstre naissant); une force pas toujours accordee a la tension si forte des lignes alexandrins eux-memes.
