This painting portrait in a very unique way a man that represents Jesus, floating in front of an unfolded hypercube that represents the cross in which Jesus was crucified. A hypercube is a geometrical form that could be defined as a “four dimension cube”. This painting has no certain meaning and it is open to interpretation. When exhibited in 1954, religious people said it was blasphemy and stated it was outrageous. It is, for me, just a surrealistic impression of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion.
I like this painting due to the fact that I really enjoy surrealism. The representation of the world as something unique and different is something that I really value. Since I was a teenager I had a fixation with religion. I have spent a lot of time reading and researching about it; Buddhism, Judaism, Catholicism where the main issues I’ve researched. When I saw this painting I felt like I have found a new way of looking at religion. Dalí represented on it’s painting a singular and personal way of seeing things. To see things and appreciate them in an alternative way is what we as future teachers should be able to do.
