Artist’s whiskers
IF there’s one thing that Salvador Dali is as famous for as his art, it is his moustache. In fact, the man had such a quirky sense of humour that he created a book called Dali’s Moustache. It is in a Q&A format where a page with a question is followed by one with a picture and a caption that gives the answer. For example, one of the questions is, “How do you get such superb details in your paintings?” The next page has a picture of him using his extensive whiskers in the form of a paintbrush to create art on a canvas, with the caption, “Nature gave me my best tools.” Quirky humour, like we said.
