Page "Salvador Dalí" Paragraph 32

Also, in The Secret Life Dalí suggested that he had split with Luis Buñuel because the latter was a Communist and an atheist.

Buñuel was fired ( or resigned ) from his position at the Museum of Modern Art ( MOMA ), supposedly after Cardinal Spellman of New York went to see Iris Barry, head of the film department at MOMA.

Buñuel then went back to Hollywood where he worked in the dubbing department of Warner Brothers from 1942 to 1946.

In his 1982 autobiography Mon Dernier soupir ( My Last Sigh, 1983 ), Buñuel wrote that, over the years, he had rejected Dalí's attempts at reconciliation.
