RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton
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.
