Imagine Salvador Dali came to you for this frame job: https://www.bonhams.com/press_release/29828/

I wonder if the paintings or frames were done first.

With the art produced in the 1930's, I would assume that the art was designed first (including a template for the frame).

Mar, there's also Salvador Doily. You can envision it, right?
Here's the soundtrack, if you can get through the commercial.

I had the chance to shake the hands with Savador Daly when I was 16, when I was learning an upholstery & Decoration at Geneva.

Hi Gerald, welcome to the Grumble.
Was he already well known when you met him?
Did you get to speak with him?
What was your impression?
Was it surreal?

 

[Gerald Haefelin]

Yes he was coming to make some sculpture on bread in grande bekery in old downtown Geneva. I did not speak with him, I was in line with another aprentis and employer.
At 16 you don't realize your chance to need him.
He talked too much. He was totally crazy, concerning the perfections of skeletal women. He talked about Gold eggs and other stuff.
He smelled of strong female Parfum mix wif talc, trench cot trimmed wit fur. White glove, and cane, yes surreal man lol.
