Ten years ago, travelling through the Canadian Maritimes, I went to the Beaverbrook Art Gallery (yes, THAT Lord Beaverbrook) in Fredericton, New Brunswick (population ~ 48,000). I found there this huge (13' by 10') painting by Dali "Santiago El Grande". (The site won't allow me to link the picture directly here). Those are four tornado storms where the stallion's genitals would be. I stared at it with my mouth open, partly because it's a very powerful painting and partly because I couldn't decide if I should laugh out loud.

That is an intense image of a horse, although it is hard to see the tornado details on the much smaller computer screen.

That looks like a more recent Dali image. Although I think Dali got carried away with himself and self-promotion and any kind of publicity late in life, I still am struck by these images of the Crucifixion and the Last Supper.
