“Syd is 25 now, and worried about getting old. “I wasn’t always this introverted,” he says, “I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any.” Suddenly he points out the window. “Have you seen the roses? There’s a whole lot of colours.” Syd says he doesn’t take acid anymore, but he doesn’t want to talk about it… “There’s really nothing to say.” He goes into the garden and stretches out on an old wooden seat. “Once you’re into something…” he says, looking very puzzled. He stops. “I don’t think I’m easy to talk about. I’ve got a very irregular head. And I’m not anything that you think I am anyway.”
- From Mick Rock’s final interview with Syd in Rolling Stone, Dec 1971
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.
