About this photograph :
Dali avant le bain
Port Lligat, Cadaquès. Espagne
This photo predates the photo of Dali in the water. The promotional benefit of this idea finally convinced Dali to overcome his fear of water and take part in the shot planned by Jean Dieuzaide.
In 1953 whilst travelling to the Levante region of Spain to write his book for the publishers Arthaud and after being refused several times by Dali, Jean Dieuzaide had the idea to stop in the painter’s home village in Cadaquès to try to take his photo.
The idea of this series "Dali in the Water" completely ignored the master’s aversion to this liquid element; also it is without doubt what makes this series so exceptional.
YellowKorner is offering a new series by Jean Dieuzaide called "Dali in the Water" for the 20th anniversary of the disappearance of Dali the surrealist artist.
About the artist :
Jean
Dieuzaide
Born in 1921, Jean Dieuzaide very quickly showed a passion for photography. He proved it ardently, everywhere, from Paris to Toulouse, passing through Arles.Launched by a photograph of General de Gaulle that would be largely distributed, Jean Dieuzaide became a photojournalist. Many of his reportages appeared in the international press, such as the one dedicated to the marriage of two tightrope walkers and published by "Life." Jean Dieuzaide also photographed for "documentary" works: Gascogne, Portugal, Périgord, Languedoc, etc.
