Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí and American photographer Philippe Halsman began collaborating in 1941 – and one of their most famous works together is this 1948 picture named
Dalí Atomicus.
Dealing with the idea of suspension, three cats, an easel, a stool, water from a bucket and Dalí himself are shown captured in mid-air.
Amazingly, this picture is not photoshopped or dubbed in any way – with Halsman claiming it took 28 attempts before he was finally satisfied and it could be published in LIFE magazine (although that version was touched up slightly).
A quite incredible piece of photography.
