Spanish painter Salvador DALI. "Dali had always been tormented by Picasso's fame. After seeing the photograph by Gjon Mili of Picasso drawing a bull in the air with a small flashlight, Dali confided to Philippe : "You know, I can do much better. I'll make a sculpture in complete darkness". Philippe was easily persuaded but had to conceive a suitable solution to this difficult photographic problem. Dali was dressed in black from head to foot. Philippe made a small slit for the eyes in the hood. Dali held a white porcelain globe: he also had a long white porcelain tube. In total darkness he proceeded to slowly move the arm that held the globe, starting with the head. Then he took the long tube with two spotlight beams. Philippe used the 4 x 5" camera and left the lens open during this procedure". Yvonne HALSMAN (Philippe Halsman's wife).
