The denizens of Dali House have taunted William Bouguereau from the second-storey windows before upon seeing him saunter by in the street with his top hat and walking stick, but you know we’re just jealous.

(Some of his paintings take on a life of their own, literally – read on further down about the sultry nymphs of New York bardom.) See the rest.
