Very nice Kai.

Really neat perspective on this portrait (I didn't recognize him until I'd worked out the lower half of his face). You've caught that wild-eyed Dali expression very nicely.

I had the moustache worked out and instantly knew who it would be. Very nice puzzle, an excellent image.

crazy, crazy Dali'

My parents have his autobiography/diary, and he was nuts! Among other things, he waxed philosophic about the dead fish (for a still-life) rotting on his kitchen table.

i agree with the neat perspective

I don't know how much truth there is to it but I once heard a story about Dali and his short sleeping. It was said that he would sit in a chair with a pie tin on the floor next to it. He would then hold a spoon by the end of the handle between his forefinger and thumb. As he dozed off, his hand would relax and the spoon would drop into the pie tin making a clatter. He is rumored to say that the moment of rest that occured between the spoon leaving his hand and hitting the tin was the most peaceful sleep.

Has anyone else ever heard this?

Excellent puzzle!
