The finest art is always the most photographic
-Salvador Dali for Playboy Magazine, 1966

In this perfect pairing, Salvador Dali reinterprets the Playboy Playmate for Playboy magazine. Known to "outrage or dazzle each generation," Dali captures the classic beauty in his unique and surreal artistry similar to the way that Playboy pushed boundaries while also celebrating the female form. This convergence of talent found its way into the pages of Playboy but the painting became the centerpiece of Hefner's bedroom for the past serval decades.
