Portrait of Salvador Dalí for LIFE magazine by Philippe Halsman in a »making of« version: this version has a wider crop than the published version, showing the assistant holding the chair, the prop that lifts the stool, and the piano wires used to hold the picture and the easel in place (in fact the frame on the easel is still empty). Wet spots from some of the many previous attempts (28 in total … that’s 84 thrown cats) can also be seen on the floor.
