A❝Soft Explosive Watch” SIDE GLANCES By Galbraith NO PEPPER
Is Mystical Painter's Latest Work
Paris.
Salvador Dali, self-styled "nuclear mystical" painter left for the United States with his latest work "a soft explosive watch" which represents a watch exploding into 88 different parts.
More than 20 years ago Dali created a sensation in New York with his painting "soft watches" showing a whole series of watches dang- ing down from a tree branch.
"It is the same theme I took up again now but this time my soft watch will be explosive so that it is adapted to our present age,” he told the United Press.

"My Romo exhibition will be tho one
much bigger than Picasso is presently holding there and it will be my answer
to Picasso," he said.
"PICASSO IS LIKE ME"
"Piramo, like me is a genius but he is a destructive genius. He is a Spaniard, so am I. He Is a Communist, I am not. Rome thus will have the joy of seeing two exhibitions by two Spanish genius but diametrically op- posed."
