 in Voluptas Mors. Human Skull Consisting of Seven Naked Women's Bodies.
Photographed by Philippe Halsman after a drawing by Dali, 1951.

A famous collaboration between the two, In Voluptas Mors, was the surrealistic portrait of Dali beside a large skull,
in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. Halsman took three hours to arrange the models according to a sketch by Dali.

Part of the picture was used in the academy award winning film, Silence of the Lambs.
