When he rose, his temperature was fine; both Hitler and surrealism were dead phases, and Dali formulated his new line: "I believe that I am the savior of modern art, the only one capable of sublimating, integrating and rationalizing all the revolutionary experiences of modern times in the great classical tradition of realism and mysticism, which is the supreme and glorious mission of Spain...
