The most famous photo performances of Salvador Dali

Perhaps the most famous representative of surrealism, Salvador Dali, was born on May 11, 1904. On the birthday of the famous artist, we decided to recall the much less known to the general public, but no less ingenious photo experiments of the master.

Not many people know that the Spanish artist, graphic artist, director, writer Salvador Dali was, among other things, also the author of photo performances with incredible composition, plasticity and dynamics. The most famous of them were made in New York in 1951 and captured by photographer Philippe Halsman (Philippe Halsman).
