Salvador Dali Standing on the Deck of the S.S. Normandy
Salvador Dali was a Spanish surrealist painter who was famous for his works of art. Most people are familiar with his most recognized piece, “The Persistence of Memory”, which features melting clocks in a strange alternative universe. In this photograph, he looks truly cool, standing on the deck of the S.S. Normandy on a winter’s day. Sort of sad, and possibly hungover and exhausted, judging from the bags under his eyes. He spent a lot of his time hyping up his own fame, and once told a friend that he would “never die”. It turns out that he was correct, because his work lived on long after his death.
