Alongside Playboy photographer Pompeo Posar, the then 69-year-old Salvador Dali lead a surreal photoshoot for a 1973 edition of the magazine. Dali worked closely with Posar to create sketches which would include plans for collage work, Renaissance motifs, and props such as the oversized egg and large fake snake which can be seen in the final shots above. Each photo was taken on location at the seaside town of Cadaqués in Spain, where locals would come to see the master at work, while taking in the view of the clear water and rolling hillsides.
When asked about the somewhat unexpected collaboration, Dali was quoted saying “The meaning of my work is the motivation that is of the purest – money. What I did for Playboy is very good and your payment is equal to the task.”

Artist Daniel Arsham has revealed new artwork today, this time centering around childhood favorite character Bugs Bunny.
On his official Instagram account, Arsham reveals two pencil sketch versions of the timeless cartoon rabbit, with one frame in tact and the other in a deconstructed “archeology”-esque condition. The post is captioned “%Reverse Engineered Archeology%,” in similar form to his previous work as exhibited on busts of Marcus Aurelius and his Future Relic series of found objects. While Bugs Bunny retains his shape, his limbs falling apart add stark contrast to the character’s familiar cuteness.
Is this a preview of new pieces, or just some artwork to start the new year off? Stay tuned and learn what Daniel Arsham has been up with actor Mahershala Ali.
