About this episode

Salvador Dali was among the oddest artists of the 20th century. He was known not only for his surrealist paintings, but also his surreal life. From his waxed mustache that is said to have outlived the artist, to antics like driving a Rolls Royce filled with cauliflower, Salvador Dali knew how to command people‘s attention. In this episode we discuss a bit about the man, the myth and his work, The Persistence of Memory from 1931. As always you can find more information at www.whoartedpodcast.com Please follow, like, leave a review and tell your friends.
