Conceptual Artist and Surreal Artist

Flickr displays this photo in portrait format. The Royal Academy reference below displays the photo in landscape format, so I did the same. It's more economical in its use of space.

The title of the photo is also the description. I found another copy at Dalí / Duchamp | Exhibition (royalacademy.org.uk; Royal Academy of Arts)

Take another look at two artistic giants: father of conceptual art Marcel Duchamp, and larger-than-life Surrealist Salvador Dalí. This is the first exhibition to throw light on their surprising relationship and its influence on the work of both artists.

Marcel Duchamp is frequently seen on this blog. His previous appearance was November 1968 'On the Cover' (November 2018; 'Marcel Duchamp died at 81 last October 1st, in Paris...').

I thought Salvador Dalí had also been seen, but a search on his surname returned, 'No posts matching the query: dali'. Through a bit of trickery I found The Plural of Pingu Is Pingus (July 2022), where his name is spelled 'Dalí' rather than 'Dali'. Accent purists take note.
