Talk:The Ecumenical Council (painting)

Some questions

 * Gala also appears in Dali's 1954 painting Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus) housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Gala appears in many Dali paintings. Is there a particular reason why this one is singled out? And does anyone know who writes the material for http://www.theartistsalvadordali.com?
 * I added this painting as a visual prelude to The Ecumenical Council, done earlier in the 1950s and combining Dali's renewed interest in his catholic roots, and his own unique scientific and metaphysical vision, as well as commentary on art as obscure as Dali's version of cubist form in space. I thought it lent some background. Feel free to remove it...Modernist (talk) 02:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The sources I'm using give more weight to Christ of St. John of the Cross (1951) and The Sacrament of the Last Supper (1955), (coincidentally that also shows Jesus with his right hand pointing up as in The Ecumenical Council) as representative of Dali's shift to religious iconography. I think for the sources and the fact that Gala appeared in dozens of Dali's works, I'll remove it or hide it. --Moni3 (talk) 13:14, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought a better image for this section would be St. Helen of Port Lligat because it shows Gala in the same pose as she is in The Ecumenical Council. But that would be three non-free images in the article. Since I'm mostly unused to writing more legitimate articles on art, I don't know how successful we may be in keeping three non-free images. Thoughts? --Moni3 (talk) 01:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
