Galuchka Photographs

Gala, Michele and Robert Descharnes, Dalí and Henri-Rey during a Catalan dance.

This is a collection of photos in black and white and color of Dalí and Gala and the people who knew them, purchased from Robert Descharnes in the mid-1990s. Dalí's nickname for his wife, "Galuchka", is connected with a childhood memory the artist relates in his autobiography. It concerns a particular image Dalí remembers from an optical box theater in his schoolmaster's classroom.
