Hosts Zak and Lianne invite listeners to explore the fascinating life of Salvador Dalí, an influential artist in Surrealism. We’ll cover his magnum opus “The Persistence of Memory” and launch into when he fell in love with a married woman, borrowed monkeys from the San Francisco Zoo for a dinner party, and collaborated with a squid to paint Beethoven.
