3.1. DALI'S PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Dalí painted lots of self-portraits.
 
These portraits are particularly interesting for the intention they reveal.


We find an enthusiastic, impetuous, sentimental and romantic Dalí .

QUESTIONS:
  • Google different images/photos of Dalí and describe them.  Use he was/ he had got/ he was wearing....
  •  
  • Write on the blog one description per group, the one you like most.
