BARCELONA, SPAIN.- Marc Lacroix, photographer and friend of Salvador Dalì, has died in France after a long disease, his family reported. He was born in 1927 in Paris and livid in Catalonia since the 1970’s. Lacroix worked next to Dalì in projects such as the development of stereo photographs (three dimensions), and a friendship developed between the Dalì marriage and Lacroix. This allowed Lacroix to take pictures of daily scenes of Dalì and Gala that became famous.

The life of Lacroix has been related to Cadaqués (Girona), where he lived for more than 25 years. He had to move to a hospital in France due to his illness. His photographs have been exhibited in Spain as well as several museums and galleries from Europe to Asia and Israel. The Dalì Museum in the United States uses a Lacroix photograph to identify its image, which caused a suit for the use of the image in its time.
