Initially, I intended to make this blog a chronology of Dali`s life and paintings. However, every week I got to know new interesting facts about Salvador Genius. My dearest friends, knowing my love to Dali, gave me 2 books about him as my birthday gifts. As I expected, they appeared to be unusual.
Today, I would like to tell you about Dali`s Mustache. I strongly recommend it to everyone! You will read it less than in an hour, cause it does`t contain a lot of text.
Well, this book is written by Salvador Dali and Philippe Halshman. This book is dedicated to the most known part of Dali - his moustache in a very unique way. It is a photographic interview. For example :
Can you imagine it was made without Photoshop? Halshman used an interesting technique: the normal portrait was made. Dali`s face was covered with New Coccine before being printed. This is a chemical that removes some details in printing.
So, probably, all the most famous weird photos of Dali and his moustache were taken by Halshman. Dali was proud of his moustache. And know it is a part of Dali`s culture.
All the information is taken from "Dali`s Mustache" book written by Salvador Dali&Philippe Halshman.

Both authors worked hard to create this unusual book. Ideas for pictures, questions and answers came from both geniuses. Some of the photos look like they were photoshoped; however, we all know that photoshop did not exist in that period of time. The book reveals the secrets of how the photos were made.
How do you explain this magic?
