Noted photographer Philippe Halsman (1906 -1979) met Dali on assignment in 1941, and over the next three decades they collaborated on many projects, including a series of bizarre tableaux embodying the philosophies of the surrealists. Their most notable production was Dali Atomicus, in which the artist, his canvas, furniture, cats, and water all appear to be suspended in midair.
In 1999 the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery held an exhibition, Philippe Halsman: A Retrospective. Many of these photographs have proven to be the definitive image of his subjects.
