Lobster Telephone (AKA Aphrodisiac Telephone) - Original art created for an English poet in 1936 but later created these off-white versions, this one is from the museum in St. Petersburg, FL.

They have a replica on display too that you can "talk" to Dali. Cool or creepy? What would you ask?

i’m wondering if this piece is a painting since i couldn’t find specifications and im also wondering if it even has a name along with meaning.

There's a Dali museum where I live and I had never been, but during my trip to Marbella Spain I ran across some Dali art that makes me interested in visiting the museum.

Hi everyone.

I was studying Salvador Dalí for a school project and recently came across this photograph online. The image was presented as one of the last photographs, or possibly the last photograph, taken of Dalí during his final years.

I wanted to ask if anyone here knows whether the photo is actually authentic or if it has been misidentified over the years. The website where I found it also mentioned a supposed son of Dalí, which made me a bit skeptical since I understood that Dalí never had any officially recognized children.

Even if the story behind the image is uncertain, I found it quite moving and sad. We are so used to seeing Dalí as this larger-than-life artistic genius and eccentric personality that it is striking to see such a fragile and human image of him near the end of his life.

I would really appreciate any information or context about the photograph. Thank you!
