Salvador Dali's Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)

- Salvador Dali called himself the first painter of the atomic age. In Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus), Dali explores his obsession with nuclear science, mysticism, and sacred geometry of the Renaissance. Dali created his cross using a four dimension cube, called a hypercube or tesseract. Dali claimed his surrealism period was merely a stepping stone, and that in his nuclear phase, he would be able to solve the mysteries of the universe.
Carl Sagan's explanation of a hypercube is the best I've found: • Cosmos - Carl Sagan - ...

This has always been my favorite Dali painting. Seeing it in person is truly a moving and almost spiritual experience. So happy to see a video about it and learn more about Dali's intention and inspiration.
Something most people don’t seem to realize about the situation presented in the painting is the true physical agony. Having your wrists and feet nailed on a regular wooden cross is painful enough, but a 4D cross would be worse. A hypercube is eight cubes sharing the same space, and as the hypercube spins, each of these eight cubes are formed until the cycle returns to the starting cube. During the cycle, each of the cubes phase through one another, their molecules sifting through each other, because again, they occupy the same space.
Imagine if Jesus was crucified on the inside of the hypercube. Each of his body parts would be forced to occupy the same space and phase through one another, like the cubes that make up the 4D shape. How agonizing must that be?
No question that crucifixion was a brutal punishment. Many earlier depictions of Jesus on the cross focused on the brutality as a physical punishment. Dali wanted to paint the crucifixion as a transcendent event. He didn’t like beat-up and bloodied paintings of Jesus. I think it's worth noting as well that Dali, in the tradition of Catholic mysticism, conflated agony and ecstasy. But yeah, 4D pain sounds like a real drag.
Ouf I need to study.. Now my mind will be occupied with 4D pain, cubes and making a Cenobite game..
The hateful 8.
@@jumpingman6612 more like 4D torture.
Well I really doubt that was his intent but interesting thought nevertheless, if it serves as any comfort Jesus wasn't a real person, just a product of fiction created by some men.
The Great Art Explained channel now has a serious competitor.
I saw that painting a week ago.
Its at the Met. My fav Dali as well.
Bro you deserve soooo much more subscribers! your videos are awesome
Thanks man.
Dali's work is outstanding, I try not to focus on the Fascist angle, but it is there. He was a very creative person with some terrible opinions, and hardly the first. I love this period of his work the best.
Amazing. Thank you so much for making this video.
Proud to have a signed work by him. King
Wow. I would love to see it.
Wow I cannot stop watching this video!
So interesting and well done
This is BRILLIANT!!!! Thanks for posting this seminal analysis of Salvador Dali’s complex world….
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Make more videos dude! This one is great and your list is too short. I'm going to watch all I can of yours!
Thank you. This and your work on Picasso are both excellent. We'll be watching for more.
Such a great and well-made video about Dalí, looking forward to see more of your work
Great video! Keep these coming, you have a special perspective and will surely grow over time. We need more of this art history content on UA-cam. Subscribed.
Thanks!
For the algorithm! 🎨
thank you my friend.
Love your vids
Thanks :)
bloody brilliant
How about bringing in the thoughts of the Philosoph Imanuel Kant?: “the starry sky above me and the conscience in me”. In the 5. (space-time) Dimension everything can be changed from 'inside to outside' and vice versa. So that picture could be a good example of how we should behave in the world. I think that Dali thought everything becomes greater and greater, 'plus ultra'. But then it's not automatically ethic and humanistic.
Merry Christmas
Hey can I ask what the song is - very beautiful
What would Dali think or do with
The current AI phase ?
Cubic Crucifixion
Hi, do you know the name of the work (or have a link) for the image at 4:52? thanks!
Take a screenshot and then do a reverse image lookup
well, he was right about modern painters. i dont see the face in the Moonlit Landscape painting. can someone point it out?
Believe me, it is there.
say what you will but he was a great technician
He was a master. Yeah he was nuts, but that's what made him interesting.
Sad that great minds are often ridiculed for being "eccentric", there is a reason their brains work that way, we need to keep or keep quiet and learn something.
I love this painting. I agree that science and religion are in fact compatible.
Me too!!! I always have!!
Things connect so much deeper and more beautifully complex than we know
It’s a great mystery and undertaking - asking us to think with an open and wondering mind
The whole science Vs religion is so close minded!!
Based
Dude, are you Caligula, or Malcolm? Based? Please, explain?
Good video but 60 Minutes didn't exist until 1968.
The 4th dimension is perhaps the invisible reality, spirits, thoughts, ideas, etc. Throwing the priest out the window was, well..4th dimensionally funny!
We live in a shadow of the fourth dimension. Research E8 theory
God exist in the of ever atom and the organelle of every cell the very fractions of the building blocks of life and all that matter. What we can not see, what is yet to comprehend he is the dream of tomorrow’s and in the escape velocity of man’s escaping of yesterdays hindrance. What might never be revealed on this side of life curtain, but to believe is happiness, eternal rest, to believe in what is worth.
The deeper one goes into Dali and his work, one finds, that Dali obliged to no ideology whatsoever. Everything he ever did was in support of painting, everything he said was garnish - jokes, intentional blasphemy, pulling everyone's legs (including his own), as well as occasionally making himself look like a horrific human being on purpose. Through it all, the man takes the shape of a vessel, the only filter being the need to create exquisite painting. And when he simply had to paint for money (like the society portraits of the 40s, 50s, 60s...), the results were truly horrific - the only evidence of any "crimes" ever committed by him.
So Kanye West is the Salvidor Dali of the Millennial
Cause of math and science god exists but I don't believe it I like dat
The background binaural noise is distracting and makes the video unpleasant to watch. Great video otherwise.
Greatest painter of all time
I’m pretty sure 3 is the hour of Christ’s death in pretty much every version of Christianity. Not trying to be a douche, just wanted to put it out there for accuracy.
Dali is just very cringe to me, hearing him say that his ideas are ingenious and revolutionary says more about the importance he gave to his own ego than to anything he has done in art, ''quantum realism'' seems like one of the most boring ideas there could be for art also, and of course it comes from someone who was very much opposed to the modern art movements that weren't cubism or surrealism. Also he was definitely a fascist.
You are out of place here. If you went to an auto mechanic, and you asked, "Are you good?". Would you really like to hear them say, "I don't know" or "no"? Of course, not. You surely wouldn't get your vehicle repaired there, would you? I think not. If the mechanic is good, they will tell you so, in a heartbeat, and probably with good references, if they were good. Same goes for artists. Why is that so cringe?
@@oirampeceda2409 I'd have something against them if they started to shittalk other mechanics and then banged on my car with a hammer lol
I went kinda hard on Dali nonetheless here, that was kinda harsh but it's just my little opinion
Masonic floor..lots of occult themes in this art
Anyone that doesn’t like Dali is just hating or just lacks the vision.
Lol Salvador Dali said “gay”
