Descharnes (January 1, 1926 – February 15, 2014) was a French photographer, filmmaker and author. He served as Salvador Dalí's secretary and, after the painter's death, administrator of his copyright. He is the author of several books on Dalí. Descharnes collected over 60,000 negatives of Dalí's daily life, a fraction of which Descharnes infrequently exhibited in art museums. For over 40 years, he fought to protect Dalí's legacy from forgeries and fakes. He wrote several reference books on the man's life and work. Descharnes was named a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2011. Nicholas Descharnes was a well-known writer and Dali scholar. More
