Salvador Dali
Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali was born on May, 11th 1904 in Figueras, Catalonia,
Spain and died on January, 23rd 1989 in his native city.
He was a great surrearlist painter and printmaker. Avant guarde and risqué for his
time, unafraid to challenge social and moral taboo's within his work. Therefore, his
subject matter was often deemed controversial, dealing with sex, religion and the subconscious.
This is one of his painting, (1951) "The Crucifixion"
or "Christ of St. John on the Cross", shown in St. Mungo Museum of Glasgow.
Believe me, it's worth seeing it.
