He would sometimes refer to it as Nuclear (now called Quantum) Mysticism. <br /><br />I love the way that Dali could take a homage to other artists, put his own personal stamp on it and intuit incredible insights. <br /><br />In The Discovery Of America by Christopher Columbus (1959) Dali incorporated elements of Diego Valazquez “The Surrender of Breda” along with several depictions of the Trinity. However, Dali insisted on painting a sea urchin right in the middle of where the flag was planted. It was only a couple of years after Neil Armstrong took his “One step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind” that Mrs Morse (one of his patrons) realized that he foresaw landing on the moon a decade before it happened.El Barrocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993968199585760734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684698646997200919.post-88150004680700751472011-04-22T15:39:15.208-04:002011-04-22T15:39:15.208-04:00"Dali wanted to emphasize the Trinity with th..."Dali wanted to emphasize the Trinity with the positioning of Jesus hanging on the Cross to represent the nucleus of the atom."<br />That is brilliant. I always find it interesting when a connection is made between God and science. <br />The video "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel presents a point that as scientists discover more about science at the microscopic level, it becomes harder to believe that such precision could have resulted without having been designed.Lnoreply@blogger.com
