Paranoiac Critical Method • Patch

Yellow Twill with Embroidery
Merrowed Edge
Iron on Backing
The Paranoiac-Critical Method was a way of perceiving the surrounding world developed by Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí in the 1930s. The process allowed the artist to gain new understandings of his reality, a practice that helped create the nonsensical and surreal paintings that made him so famous. Inspired by Freud and da Vinci, Dalí would enter into a paranoid mental state, without the use of drugs, which created mental images or hallucinations. Once he returned to a ‘normal’ sensibility, he would promptly paint or draw on canvas to capture his visions.
