Which do you prefer Dali or Klimt?
Salvador Dalí and Gustav Klimt were iconic masters from different eras who shared a fascination with the human body. Dalí explicitly paid tribute to Klimt in his 1974 etching titled Hommage a Klimt, likely connecting with Klimt's history of facing censorship and accusations of pornography regarding his erotic and symbolic works.
