Original artwork description:

One of the most famous figures in art history, Salvador Dalí is remembered as much for his extravagant persona and iconic mustache as he is for his creative output—which spanned painting, sculpture, and product and set design, as well as film.
Decades after his death, the brand name of Salvador Dalí has not declined. His curved mustache—recently voted to be the most famous example of facial hair of all time—has become a household symbol for artistic invention, and can be found on coffee mugs and in costume stores worldwide. While his celebrity persists, it’s perhaps more surprising that Dalí’s paintings continue to shock audiences half a century after their creation. While many of his avant-garde contemporaries have lost their taboo factor, Dalí’s works are still disturbing to the modern eye, as viewers seek to uncode their grotesque, dreamlike contents. “The only difference between me and a madman,” Dalí famously once quipped, “is that I am not mad.”
