Autographed, Salvador Dalí & Gala Dalí in Paris, 1980 - By Gérard Fouquet (Source)

I don’t know if
I’m the most famous painter in the world.

Lots of people
Who ask for my autograph in the street
Don’t know if I’m a singer,
A movie star,
A madman,
A writer...

They don’t know what I am.

— Salvador Dalí,
