In Part One we explored Gala’s childhood, how she met her first husband Paul Eluard and traveled alone through Europe in the midst of World War I to be with him, their marriage and later menage-a-trois relationship with Max Ernst, and finally the fateful meeting of Gala and Dali.

Part Two picks back up on Gala's story and honors Gala's complex legacy. Whether critical of Gala’s behavior or not, one cannot deny that she was a force to be reckoned with. Gala knew the life she wanted to live, and was unwilling to let her size, gender, two world wars, and any force opposing her, get in her way.

Listen to Part Two of Gala's story.
