Discovering the Christmas cards of surrealist Salvador Dalí

In this video, Dalí Museum curator of education Peter Tush explores the Spanish surrealist artist’s fascinating, outrageous, yet little-known Fifties Christmas card design projects for Hallmark Cards, and for Barcelona-based company Hoechst Ibérica.

As befits the rest of Salvador Dalí’s body of work, the cards are decorative, decadent and unforgettable.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
