I was talking this morning to someone whose website I’ve worked at for six years, and I mentioned Salvador Dali, whose work I love. He replied that his father had known Dali in Paris in the ’50s, and had been commissioned to create an artistic portrait of him that was rejected and went unpaid (pictured here and for sale now at an NYC gallery). So now I’m fascinated by the work of Val Telberg, a Surrealist-influenced photomontagist of whom I’d never heard, and have new insight into his son’s obsession with photography and cameras.
