A Dali postscript

P1030849

Gala posing as Leda, in Leda and the swan.

Been doing some reading up on Dali. Here are some snippets which are too good to waste:

Dali once gave a lecture on Surrealism while wearing a deep diving suit with helmet. He had to be cut out of the suit before he nearly suffocated.

Gala, Dali’s wife and muse, had a residence where she demanded that Dali visit her by appointment only. She would receive him, seated on her throne.
