| Detail of Salvador Dali's "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" (1951) |
Our fascination with the religious art of
Salvador Dali began when our home was near the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, and we could visit his "
Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)" on a weekly basis. We'd spend many long hours there in spellbound reflection. Last year, we purchased our first Dali work in our new home of Indianapolis, a
dealer print, and our eyes are also on a
bronze sculpture at a downtown gallery. In Dali's Crucifixion works, Christ’s body is healthy and athletic as he levitates above us. It is that unique point of view, that makes "
Christ of St John of the Cross" today's religious art news of the week. Fortunately, whether
collecting online at
eBay, or visiting a local
museum, Dali's point of view is always close to home.
