Salvador Dalí

Salvador Dali never paid his restaurant tabs. Dali would pay his tabs by check and scribbled on them. He based this form of payment by his theory that they could never cash in a check with such a valuable piece of art on it. This theory ended up being correct as no restaurant has ever cashed a check given to them by Dali. Source: Facts.net
Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, image-in-ing, Keith, Senior Salon, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.
We had an exhibition with Dali’s creations in Bucharest. I discovered that there are much
more than I thought.
Thank you for the subject, dear Sandee!
Happy WW and a fine week! Hugs and love!❤️😘
Salvadore Dali was absolutely “one of a kind”……creativity was his LIFE!
Hugs, Pam
what a great idea, maybe I the MadSnapper Procreator might try this. ha ha haha ha ha ha ha
The restaurants were very smart not to cash his checks. They need to be framed instead!
Now if only that would work for me. Very interesting and I bet those checks are worth way more than the amount they were written for.
I had a chance to visit the Dali museum in St Petersburg, Florida, and passed it up (this was almost 10 years ago). Now, I would do it in a heartbeat. There’s just something about those melting clocks. Alana ramblinwitham
No lack of self-confidence from him, huh? LOLOL And he wasn’t wrong!
Have a wonderful day!
I have to admit I have never been a fan of Dali, but we all have different tastes which is good. The restaurants were very clever to keep those cheques. I wonder if any have been sold at auction.
We have never heard of him, but if he is really famous, the check is probably worth a lot more not cashed than cashed.
Very interesting. He sounds like a bit of a jerk. 🙂 Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
