When Dali Wrote To Picasso

Between April 11 and 28 of 1926, Salvador Dalí travelled for the first time to Paris. He visited Pablo Picasso’s studio, whom he considered his main artistic influence. Dalí told Picasso: “I have come to see you before going to the Louvre.” Picasso responded, “You did right to do so.” This is where their relationship begins. A new book titled “Lettres à Picasso (1927-1970)” has just been published. The small book publishes for the first time a group of almost thirty post cards and telegrams and a letter, all of which are kept at the Musée Picasso in Paris. Dalí wrote in Catalonian, Spanish and French, using his peculiar spelling. There are no letters from Picasso to Dalí. He never answered his letters. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
