Hey Angevoix. What is it about this work that you like? What do you mean "Enter Mission?"

Enter Mission was a play on words, as you may have noticed I have titled my last four post like a musical work.
So it is a play on the word intermission. Enter Mission - meaning a call to do just that...
I love this work because it reminds me of intercession. To me it looks as if Christ is prostrate on the Cross interceding for the world below... I am not sure if that is the original intent of Mr. Dali... But I have this picture on my living room wall and that is what it means to me. I find it very inspiring.

Cool play on words. Dali's depiction of the Crucifixion is certainly "otherly."

Thank you Ange. You know I had a romance with a protege of Salvador Dali once...I have to assume this guy was a Christian. I have never seen this painting before. Deep. I am supposed to be starting an art project today my self.
