Salvador Dali Aboard The S.S. Normandie In New York City
Salvador Dali was a surrealist artist who seemed to exist outside of time and space. Despite this, in the 20th century, his surrealist paintings and experiments drew a lot of attention! Early trips to New York City, among other things, had an influence on him. He and his wife boarded the Champlain from Franc and were forced to stay on one of the lower decks near the machine rooms when they first visited New York. He only said that, according to Patroness Caresse Crosby, “I am next to the engine so that I’ll get there quicker.”
