"Hand-painted dream photographs..."


On this day was born Salvador Dali, in 1904, in Figueras, Spain. He passed from this life on January 23, 1989, as his recording of Tristan and Isolde played on a phonograph.

"Surrealism will at least have served to give experimental proof that total sterility and attempts at automatizations have gone too far and have led to a totalitarian system. ... Today's laziness and the total lack of technique have reached their paroxysm in the psychological signification of the current use of the college."
