Although not an eyeglass wearer Salvador Dali is included as one of Silver Lining’s Framed Artists. This is due to his obsession with the human eye. Besides depicting the human eye in his paintings he used it in his set designs for Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “Spellbound” and his jewelry design “the Eye of Time”. His use of a magnifying glass suggests that maybe he did indeed need a pair of eyeglasses.
