Inspiration: Style Icon Salvador Dali - Living Art

In Voluptas Mors

A famous collaboration between the Dali and Phillipe Halsman, a surrealistic portrait of Dali beside a large skull, in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. Halsman took three hours to arrange the models according to a sketch by Dali.

Dali and Halsman are two artists which I happen to absolutely adore individually. And as a matter of fact I'm quite fond of their collaborations. It's in the idea of one person that another is able to capture perfection. Such mutual admiration between both collaborative parties must be amazing. Ah... to trust another with your idea without question. It's a wonder if that can exist in modern times among creative types. Needless to say  this image has always been a great deal of inspiration for moi as it embodies the reminder of life, beauty and mortality merely a glimpse away.

Enjoy the art, 
kisses,

Style Icon: Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali


"Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing."
- Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali is this amazing surrealist painter, that I absolutely love. Of course! And it's way deeper than that. I have such a passion and find myself completely enraptured by his work. To explain a little, my dreams are sometimes like a Dali painting and I occasionally struggle with what that possibly means, but for the most part... I just go with it. It's kinda fun, of course, in a unique way. Could you honestly expect anything less from moi? *blush* I don't have a fascinating story behind the 'why' or 'how' I came to admire his work. It was always just there in my life and I don't remember a time without knowing it.

I had to post this because an amazing person I know... has no clue who or what 'Dali is. And that fellow from the new 'Twilight' film, Robert Pattinson, is going to play a young Salvador Dali in his next film project. Which to my understanding is called 'Little Ashes', so I'm very excited. kisses. m.
