Melissa Faithful for Art-Sheep
Did you know that Salvador Dali has collaborated with Playboy magazine? Yes, that’s right!
In 1973, the legendary artist worked with Playboy photographer Pompeo Posar. Having featured important photograhers like Annie Leibovitz and Helmut Newton, the men’s magazine has also been art directed by artists like Keith Haring and Salvador Dalí. For the surrealist, erotica could not have been anything less than collages of naked butts and floating chairs and nude women wearing bizarre masks.
When asked about this special collaboration, Dali replied, “The meaning of my work is the motivation that is of the purest – money. What I did for Playboy is very good and your payment is equal to the task.”
