John of the Cross" owned by
the Glasgow Art Gallery and
Museum in Scotland and re-
produced in THIS WEEK for
the first time in America, is
almost as famous for pictur-
esque explanations of his ideas
as for his work itself.
One is reminded = by the
calm sea and the fishermen
and their boats over which
the Crucifix floats - of the
Gospel prediction. after l
am risen again / will 60 be-
fore you into Galilee.
ut could be the Sea of
Galilee," says Dali, "but l
saw it in a dream and it was
probably Port Lligat, Spain,
where l have my studio and
where many fishermen live
and work. l always think of
Port Lligat as Biblical.
MY Christ floats-only be-
cause in my dream l saw a
drawing of the Crucifixion
made by the sixteenth
century. mystic, St. John of
the Cross. Christ floated in
that drawing l dreamed about,
so l painted Him in exactly
the same way"
WHY do we not see Christ's
face? HE had no face in my
dream" Dali explains. "Be-
sides, we cannot imagine what
the face of Christ looked like.
Artists in the past usually
painted His face as an imper-
sonal, idealized image. The
Christ of most modern artists
is expressionistic and ugly. l
