Robert P. 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.
The two formed a close bond, and collaborated on the experimental film L'Aventure prodigieuse de la dentellière et du rhinocéros, which was never released.
[2] For over 40 years, he fought to protect Dalí's legacy from forgeries and fakes.
Even when he was well, Dalí had never shown any interest in contracts, or any understanding of their small print.
