Magnum Photosさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Magnum PhotosInstagram)「The making of a @philippe_halsman_official photograph: Salvador Dalí’s light sculpture 📸⁠ ⁠ In the book Halsman at Work, Yvonne Halsman, Philippe Halsman's wife, tells the story behind this picture and how he and Dalí achieved it: “Dalí had always been tormented by Picasso’s fame. After seeing the photograph by Gjon Mili of Picasso drawing a bull in the air with a small flashlight, Dalí confided to Philippe: ‘You know, I can do much better. I’ll make a sculpture in complete darkness.’ ⁠ ⁠ “Philippe was easily persuaded but had to conceive a suitable solution to this difficult photographic problem. Dalí was dressed in black from head to foot. Philippe made a small slit for the eyes in the hood. Dalí held a white porcelain globe; he also had a long white porcelain tube. In total darkness he proceeded to slowly move the arm that held the globe, starting with the head. Then he took the long tube to make the neck and arms. We followed his movements, lighting up only the sphere of the tube with two spotlight beams. Philippe used the 4x5-inch camera and left the lens open during this procedure.”⁠ ⁠ Written by Light, the Square Print Sale in partnership with @worldpressphoto, ends tonight at midnight EDT. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 LAST CHANCE to shop the curation, including this image by Halsman, at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS (left right): ⁠ ⁠ (1-2) Behind the scenes.
