Seine Affairen mit all den schönen Frauen, die ihm scharenweise verfallen, nutzt der Halunke und Tunichtgut Bel Ami nur, um sich auf der Karriereleiter hinaufzubewegen. Natürlich entgeht er seiner gerechten Strafe nicht, interessanterweise allerdings nur in der Hollywoodvariante, nicht in Maupassants berühmten Roman, habe ich jetzt herausgefunden. Läuft im Rahmen der stark vernachlässigten immerwährenden George-Sanders-Wochen und Angela-Lansbury-Wertschätzung-Maßnahmen.

Exploring Dalí's Surrealist Masterpiece: "The Temptation of St. Anthony"

In the realm of surrealism, few artists hold as much prominence or display as much audacious creativity as Salvador Dalí. Known for his outlandishly dreamlike and bizarre works, Dalí pushed the boundaries of the imagination, forever altering the landscape of modern art. Among his most intriguing pieces is "The Temptation of St. Anthony," a painting that encapsulates Dalí's genius and his unique interpretation of religious symbolism.

The Divine and the Surreal: A Brief Overview

"The Temptation of St. Anthony (dalí)” was painted by Dalí in 1946 as part of a competition by the David L. Loew-Albert Lewin film production company for a film about the life of St. Anthony, titled "The Private Affairs of Bel Ami." Although Dalí did not win, his rendition became the most famous.

The painting depicts St. Anthony, a Christian monk from the 3rd century, undergoing a series of temptations during his journey in the Egyptian desert. The central figure is seen resisting a procession of fantastical and symbolic creatures – a hallmark of Dalí's unique style.

A Closer Look at the Imagery

St. Anthony, depicted in the foreground of the painting, holds a cross in a symbol of steadfast faith, his other hand stretched towards the heavens in a gesture of resolve. He is seen rejecting the allure of the temporal world, represented by the surrealistic spectacle before him.

One of the most striking elements of the painting is the parade of elephants, which appears to defy the laws of physics. The elephants, with their long, spindle-like legs, carry symbols of lust and power on their backs. The lead elephant holds an obelisk, a reference to the obelisk of Bernini in Rome, associated with worldly desire and power. The subsequent elephants carry structures representing lust and earthly wealth.

A skeletal horse lurks in the background, possibly representing death, a reality that St. Anthony must embrace in his quest for spiritual enlightenment. The barren desert is a stark symbol of isolation and spiritual desolation, reinforcing the narrative of St. Anthony's solitary struggle against worldly temptation.

A Symbolic Journey into Surrealism

Dalí's "The Temptation of St. Anthony (dalí)" stands as a fascinating exploration of the interplay between faith, desire, and mortality. In classic Dalí style, it juxtaposes the familiar with the fantastical, crafting a narrative that is as visually arresting as it is thought-provoking.

The surreal imagery invites viewers to delve deeper into the nature of temptation and the human struggle against ephemeral desires for enduring spiritual rewards. It is a testament to the power of surrealism as a medium to convey profound philosophical and spiritual messages, pushing viewers to confront their own perceptions and biases.

Dalí's Enduring Influence

More than just an exploration of spiritual struggle, "The Temptation of St. Anthony (dalí)" is also a showcase of Dalí's boundless creativity and his mastery of surrealism. His audacious use of symbolism and dreamlike imagery continues to influence generations of artists, making him one of the enduring icons of modern art.

In conclusion, Salvador Dalí's "The Temptation of St. Anthony" presents a captivating blend of surrealism and religious symbolism. It is a visual journey into the depths of the human soul, confronting the eternal battle between earthly desires and spiritual aspirations. Even decades after its creation, it continues to inspire, challenge, and bewilder, a testament to the enduring genius of Salvador Dalí.

Warren William (born Warren William Krech; December 2, 1894 – September 24, 1948) was a Broadway and Hollywood actor, immensely popular during the early 1930s; he was later nicknamed the "King of Pre-Code". He was the first actor to play Perry Mason.

Warren William Krech's family originated in Bad Tennstedt, Thuringia, Germany. His grandfather, Ernst Wilhelm Krech (born 1819), fled Germany in 1848 during the Revolution, going first to France and later emigrating to the United States. He wed Mathilde Grow in 1851, and had six children. Freeman E. Krech, Warren's father, was born in 1856. Around the age of 25, Freeman moved to Aitkin, a small town in Minnesota, where he bought a newspaper, The Aitkin Age, in 1885. He married Frances Potter, daughter of a merchant, September 18, 1890. Their son Warren was born December 2, 1894.

Warren William's interest in acting began in 1903, when an opera house was built in Aitkin. He was also an avid and lifelong amateur inventor, a pursuit that may have contributed to his death.[2] After high school, William auditioned for, and was enrolled in, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) in New York City in October 1915.

As his senior year at AADA was coming to an end, the United States had entered the First World War, and William enlisted in the United States Army. He was assigned from base to base, in charge of training new men at various locations, and in 1918 was assigned to Fort Dix near New York City, in New Jersey. While in New York, he met his future wife, Helen Barbara Nelson, who was 17 years older than he was. In October 1918 he left for France, to enter the war. William left the army in early 1919, after which he began working on his acting career. In 1923, he and Helen were married.

William, who appeared in his first Broadway play in 1920, soon made a name for himself in New York, and appeared in more than 20 plays on Broadway between 1920 and 1931. During this period he also appeared in two silent films, The Town That Forgot God (1922) and Plunder (1923).

He moved from New York City to Hollywood in 1931. The Village Voice called him "The King of Pre-Code". He began as a contract player at Warner Bros. and quickly became a star during what is now known as the 'Pre-Code' period. He developed a reputation for portraying ruthless, amoral businessmen (Under 18, Skyscraper Souls, The Match King, Employees' Entrance), crafty lawyers (The Mouthpiece, Perry Mason), and outright charlatans (The Mind Reader). These roles were considered controversial, yet they were highly satisfying. This was the harshest period of the Great Depression, characterized by massive business failures and oppressive unemployment. Movie audiences jeered at the businessmen, who were often portrayed as predators.

William did play some sympathetic roles, including Dave the Dude in Frank Capra's Lady for a Day, and a loving father and husband cuckolded by Ann Dvorak's character in Three on a Match (1932). He was a young songwriter's comically pompous older brother in Golddiggers of 1933. William was Julius Caesar in Cecil B. DeMille's Cleopatra (1934; starring Claudette Colbert in the title role), and with Colbert again the same year as her character's love interest in Imitation of Life (1934). He played the swashbuckling musketeer d'Artagnan in The Man in the Iron Mask (1939), directed by James Whale.

The studios capitalized on William's popularity by placing him in multiple "series" films, particularly as detectives and crime-solvers. William was the first to portray Erle Stanley Gardner's fictional defense attorney Perry Mason on the big screen and starred in four Perry Mason mysteries. He played Raffles-like reformed jewel thief The Lone Wolf in nine films, beginning with The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt (1939), and appeared as Detective Philo Vance in two of the series films,The Dragon Murder Case (1934) and the comedic The Gracie Allen Murder Case (1939). He also starred as Sam Spade (renamed Ted Shane) in Satan Met a Lady (1936), the second screen version of The Maltese Falcon.

Other roles included Mae West's manager in Go West, Young Man (1936), a jealous district attorney in another James Whale film, Wives Under Suspicion (1938), copper-magnate Jesse Lewisohn in 1940's Lillian Russell, the evil Jefferson Carteret in Arizona (also 1940), and sympathetic Dr. Lloyd in The Wolf Man (1941). In 1945, he played Brett Curtis in cult director Edgar G. Ulmer's 1945 modern-day version of Hamlet, called Strange Illusion.

In what would be his last film, he played Laroche-Mathieu in The Private Affairs of Bel Ami in 1947.

On radio, William starred in the transcribed series Strange Wills, which featured "stories behind strange wills that run the gamut of human emotion."

Although on-screen William was an actor audiences loved to hate, off-screen William was a private man, and he and his wife, Helen, kept out of the limelight. Warren and Helen remained a couple throughout his entire adult life. He was often described as having been shy in real life. Co-star Joan Blondell once said, "[He... was an old man – even when he was a young man.

Warren William died on September 24, 1948, from multiple myeloma, at age 53. His wife died a few months later. He was recognized for his contribution to motion pictures with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 1960.
