Primary Sources: Art & Artists: Dalí, Salvador

"As Salvador Dali is the subject of a BBC1 documentary, Mick Brown recalls the surreal weekend he spent with the artist forty years ago."

" Appearing on the game show The Name’s the Same in January, 1954, Dalí was asked (at the 4:00 mark) whether the stache was a joke. To which the Spanish painter responded, “It’s the most serious part of my personality. It’s a very simple Hungarian moustache. Mr. Marcel Proust used the same kind of pomade for this moustache.”"
