PHILIPPE HALSMAN Dali's Moustache, 2005

This reproduction of Dali's Moustache by Philippe Halsman is an iconic image that captures the surreal essence of Salvador Dalí, focusing only on his eye and his trademark eccentric moustache. Halsman, a renowned portrait photographer, had a long-standing collaboration with Dalí, and together they created many imaginative and whimsical portraits that fused photography with surrealism.

This photograph was part of a larger series published in Halsman’s 1954 book Dali’s Moustache, a collaboration that humorously explored Dalí’s eccentricity through various imaginative and surreal photographs of his iconic facial hair.
