Artists are rebels by nature, but few have left a lasting impact on all media like Salvador Dali! Film, fashion, furniture… this man did it all! And did so with some very questionable behavior so HEADS UP, GUYS!!! This one gets NSFW, because you can’t talk about Dali without mentioning his antics. Nothing about this guy was mild mannered, to say the least!

In the Episode:

Surrealism, Freud, and the Human Mind
A lobster phone?
An amazing interaction between Dali and Andy Warhol
Dali’s outlandish publicity stunts
