"Salvador Dalí, known for his eccentricities, once used his art as a form of payment at restaurants. Rather than settle his bills with cash, he would often sketch on the back of his meal checks, leaving behind unique, surreal doodles. The restaurant owners, recognizing the value of his work, accepted these sketches as payment instead of money. This practice reflected Dalí’s belief in the intrinsic value of his art, even in everyday situations. By transforming a simple restaurant receipt into a piece of his surrealist world, Dalí turned mundane transactions into a statement about the cultural and financial worth of art during his time."
