Dali's Mustache: Une interview photographique

Dalí, Salvador

History & Criticism

Flammarion

Cult classic and collector’s item, Dali’s Mustache is the result of the astonishing artistic collaboration between surrealist Salvador Dalí and experimental photography pioneer Philippe Halsman. Dalí and Halsman were friends as well as professional collaborators for more than three decades. Subtitled A Photographic Interview, the concept of the book is one short question presented to Dalí, which Dalí answers, followed by a corresponding black-and-white photograph by Halsman. The photographs are intentionally absurd and hilarious. Early editions of this book came with a warning on the back that said “Warning! This book is preposterous.” Question: "I have the feeling, to have discovered your secret, Salvador. Could it be that you are crazy?" Answer: "I am certainly saner than the person who bought this book."

Dali's Mustache

L’arrêt sur images a longtemps fasciné de nombreux photographes, mais aucun ne l’a manié avec autant de malice et de fantaisie que Philippe Halsman.C’est en photographiant la famille Ford pour le 50e anniversaire de la marque (1952) qu’Halsman a cette idée folle : faire sauter Mme Ford devant l’objectif. Ainsi naît le concept de « jumpology », basé sur le constat que faire sauter les sujets photographiés aide à la relaxation et la désinhibition de ceux-ci, les rendant plus naturels et photogéniques que lorsqu’ils sont figés dans des poses étudiées.Cet ouvrage revient sur les plus célèbres de ces clichés d’artistes, de stars de la télévision, d’industriels, de politiciens, d’athlètes et de scientifiques qui se sont tous prêtés au jeu et aux caprices d’Halsman. Des portraits hauts en couleurs (bien qu’en noir et blanc), originaux, dynamiques, drôles et vrais.

Making faces: a highly original visual Q&amp;A with France's most beloved comic actor In New York in 1948, photographer Philippe Halsman had a chance meeting with Fernandel, a French movie star from the vaudeville tradition, and asked the actor to participate in a completely original photographic experiment. Halsman would ask Fernandel questions about America to which he would respond using only facial expressions. With his wide, lovable horse-face, Fernandel mimicked the answers to such questions as "Does the average Frenchman still pinch pretty girls in a crowd?" (silly grin) and "What was your reaction to the great American game of baseball?" (perplexed). Fernandel`s reactions are laugh-out-loud funny, and the book that resulted from this unusual collaboration is nothing short of wonderful. The Frenchman has been out of print for over fifty years, but TASCHEN`s reprint thankfully brings it back to life.
