Avida Dollars
Andre Breton was a main criticizer of Dali`s artworks. He gave Salvador Dali a nickname "Avida Dollars" which was an anagram from Salvador Dali. The anagram means greedy for money, which was kind of a truth about Dali. When Dali moved to the USA, he started his capitalist career and self-promoting. Dali was a favourite character for advertisers.
