Playboy Gallery: Salvador Dalí
January, 1997
Good thing surrealist painter Salvador Dali did not live by limp clocks alone. In 1974 Playboy embarked on a collaboration with the great artist, dispatching photographer Pompeo Posar to Dali's Mediterranean villa. There the two men got to work—Dali assembling dreamlike sets from sketches he'd prepared, Posar filling the tableaux with his naked traveling companions. The final portfolio appeared in the Christmas issue, and was hot enough to melt your stopwatch.
