Artwork Page for The Spanish artist Salvador Dali. "In 1964, when the radio and newspapers announced that Dali had shaved his mustache, we were stunned! We rushed to Port Ligat, Dali's home. We couldn't bear the thought of Dali without his mustache and we had to see his new face. Fortunately, the information was wrong and Philippe and Dali concocted a photograph to show the world that Dali's mustache was still there, as strong as ever." Yvonne Halsman, Port Ligat, Spain
