Hi and welcome, Pat. Regarding your question, I just found this on the Internet:
Dali said he didn't use (or need) drugs; “I do not take drugs. I am drugs.”
Towards the end of his life Gala (his wife) dosed him with non-prescribed medicines; "Dali suffered a devastating deterioration of the nervous system in 1980 as a result of Gala, 11 years his senior, regularly giving him a mixture of drugs that were not prescribed to him. After she died in 1982, Dali apparently lost his will to live and possibly attempted suicide a few times."
And once again I must agree with you, Roger: Dali could certainly paint just what he wanted.

Quote:
Myrna, Dali claimed to have dreamed many of his images. He sometimes wanted to shock or make people guress. He had a strange mind, was very vain and loved personal attention. From these things he had a lot of choices. However, his ability to paint just what he wanted was evident. Roger
