Subject: Greek Mythology
ARGOS (Argus) PANOPTES was a hundred-eyed giant who lived in the region of Argolis in the Peloponnese.
Once when Zeus was consorting with the Nymph Io, his wife Hera arrived on the scene. The god quickly transformed his lover into a white heifer, but the goddess was not deceived. She demanded the animal for a gift and set Argos Panoptes as its guard.
Zeus sent Hermes to surreptitiously rescue his lover. The god first tried to lull the giant to sleep with his music, but failing that, slew him with his sword. It was from this endeavour that he earned his familiar title Argeiphontes (literally "the slayer of Argos").
Hera rewarded Argos for his service by placing his hundred eyes on the tail of her sacred bird, the peacock.

Salvador Dali Alfred Hitchcock Spellbound
Alfred Hitchcock wanted Salvador Dali to create a dream sequence for his 1940's film "Spellbound" with Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. Hitchcock felt that Dali was the only one who understood that dreams were not properly represented in films because in those days directors and special effects people would depict dreams in a fog or haze and use lense filters to blur the edges of the scene. Hitchcock wanted sharp edges and long shadows, Dali was the perfect man for the job and was hired to create the now famous dream sequence.

Alice Cooper and Salvador Dali
Alice Cooper was asked by Laura Barnett:
What's your favorite museum?
The Salvador Dalí museum in Figueres, Spain. Five of the original band members were art majors, and we worshipped Dalí: we thought of ourselves as surrealists. I worked with Dalí for four days in New York in 1974. He did a sculpture of my brain. It's a brain with a chocolate eclair running down the back, and ants climbing all over it and spelling out "Dalí and Alice".

Salvador Dali in Singapore
Singapore’s ArtScience Museum
“Dali: Mind of a Genius,” ongoing until Oct. 30, which boasts over 250 works by the Spanish Surrealist.
It includes furniture, jewelry, sculptures and paintings. Most of them are iconic: the lipstick-red “Mae West Lips Sofa,” inspired by the Hollywood actress; “Dance of Time,” his melted clocks; and “Spellbound,” a painting as large as a double-decker bus, which appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie.
Both the Van Gogh and Dali shows are traveling exhibitions. The museum has its own small permanent collection—housed in three galleries on the top floor, called Curiosity, Inspiration and Expression—which contain interactive works that argues the connection between art and science.

Salvador Dali photographs
88 unpublished photographs of Salvador Dalí by Philippe Halsman on show
CNA / Marina López / Toni Bardia
Barcelona (ACN).– Unpublished photographs of the Surrealist Catalan painter Salvador Dalí made by Philippe Halsman are on show at the Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol, North of Girona and close to the Costa Brava. Dalí and Halsman had a friendship that lasted 37 years and the photographs reflect these close ties. The American photographer was popularly known for his serious portraits in 'Life' magazine, where a hundred covers carried his signature. Halsman showed his more transgressive side when he met Salvador Dalí. He left aside the photographs of Marilyn Monroe, Alfred Hitchcock, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill and Pablo Picasso to fully enter into an innovative project that sought to “shoot thinking” and reach a new concept of art.

Salvador Dali Sculpture
Next to the elevator in the Hotel Éclat, a 60-room boutique hotel in Taipei, stands a sculpture by Salvador Dalí.
“It can be quite surreal to stand next to the elevator, just inches away” from it, says general manager Roger Marten, who adds that in the two years since the hotel opened, the otherwise mundane spot has become a popular site for wedding photos.
The Dalí comes courtesy of hotel owner George Hwang, a Hong Kong-based entrepreneur — he built the city’s Parkview residential complex — and ardent art collector. It’s one of 25 original paintings and sculptures from his private collection, including some by well-known artists, on display in the Hotel Éclat. Click on the slideshow tab to see a few highlights:
