Dali and his anteater. If you notice he is coming out of an art nouveau paris metro station. It is a little known fact that dali was a huge fan of art nouveau and convinced the french govt to save some of the nouveau entrances as museum pieces. True fact. (can there be a such thing as a false fact?) This might be my favorite Dali photo. Here, one can see that the divine genius of dali is separated from the ugly burgoise masses by the iron wall of art nouveau genius. His seeing eye "dog" will lead him on a path of divine inspiration as he follows the ants of inspiration like a modern day Hansel seeking the bread crumbs of wisdom and safe return. But genius can never go home again, it burns bridges, and the rubicon is crossed alone and without guidance.
