Aside from his surreal works, Salvador Dalí was also known for his eccentricities. In 1955, Dalí arrived at the Sorbonne University of Paris in a Rolls Royce stuffed with roughly 50p Kg (1102 lbs) of cauliflower for a lecture he was to give. He was quoted as saying, “Everything departs from the rhinoceros horn! Everything departs from Jan Vermeer’s The Lacemaker! Everything ends up in the cauliflower!” #ArtHistory #SalvadorDalí #Dalí
