The Last Supper Clouds

| 101 STUDIES | Jay Hagstrom | Comments Off on The Last Supper Clouds

I photographed a “cirrus uncinus” cloud last week, which means “hooked curly hair” in Latin. This is one of the pointiest clouds you’ll ever see, and it crops up again and again in the paintings of Dali. When even the clouds seem to point at Jesus, can you be confused about the subject? Dali knew how to control the human eye. He knew how to have one subject. Ask yourself these questions: Do my compositions have one subject?

How can I incorporate Kepler’s platonic solid model as a striking visual device? …Well, first try to have just one subject, that’s a good start!
