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.
