Never-before-seen photographs of Salvador Dali and Picasso unveiled

Salvador Dali is a cult icon the world over. His eccentric style, both in art and general aesthetic, has transcended through the years to secure his place as one of the most recognised artists of all time. Similarly, Pablo Picasso – the pioneer of Cubism – is truly unmistakable. Therefore, when something new comes along that relates to such highly regarded individuals, it's all the more exciting.

Hampstead's Zebra One Gallery has unveiled rare and never-before-seen photographs of legendary artists including Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro, currently on display until the end of September.

Throughout Salvador Dali’s career, a question that reoccurred time and time again was whether he would cut his iconic moustache – a point that you'll see is addressed in many of these shots, with him stood at the mirror with a razor and sword in hand. I ask you, what's not to love?
