1995, in Siegburg. NICK

I like the way when i take one look, it looks like its moving and turning around and around.


1950 (350 Kb); Oil on canvas, Oil, enamel, and aluminum on canvas; 221 x 300 cm (7 ft 3 in x 9 ft 10 in); National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

I liked this art work because when i take one look at this its like i am looking down at a Painting that has a life of its own.
Christ of Saint John of the Cross
ArtistSalvador DalĂ­
Year1951
TypeOil on canvas
Dimensions205 cm × 116 cm (80.7 in × 45.67 in)

The reason why i picked this artist is because of what he feels
and what he believed in. I like this painting because it makes me
believe in the history of Jesus Christ.

COOl! I lvoe Salvadore Dahlissss work! He's the man! here's another work he did with Jesus Christ in it 'Christus Hypercubus' - it's pretty radical and different from the 'normal' pictures with Jesus... My fav is def 'the persistence of memory!' so cool! and Pollock... you could check out Lee Krasners work...!! :)

Dali was the Charlie sheen art here's some quotes by him

Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali.

I don't do drugs. I am drugs.

There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

“I am going to my room to masturbate before I have a light lunch, if you would like to come and watch”

Hi Leo,

I was a bit confused about whether or not you are responding to the timeline exercise, because your first choice was from the 90s, but your other 2 were from the 50s. Just to be clear, it would be good to let us know what time period the three pieces are from that you are discussing.

Cheers,

TX
