Dalí Atomicus [1948]


Philippe Halsman is the first photographer who made a career making pictures with people jumping. One of the most famous “jumpers” was Dalí. The photo represents the atomic era (scientist said every particle is in suspension) and Dalí’s “Leda Atomica” (work of art behind the cats - unfinished yet).

For this picture there were necessary about 28 jumps, a room full of assistants throwing cats and buckets of water in the air.

One of the strangest people in our history. Truly remarkable artist, but in a weird way, I guess.
