I will have to refresh my knowledge of logarithms and differential equations. I always knew they would finish by having some higher meaning in my life.Dave Thanks again.

''The nuclear mystical aspects'' is very clear to me, and merits a blog on its own. It seems most of the art historians frame their analysis on assumptions which appear incomplete, or entirely off base. I am sure Dali was not unique, in having an alternative perception to the works of the old masters. this is definitely a subject that will be taken up later, since as you said, ''have rarely been looked into''. Best,Dave Thanks Louis. Fantastic comment. ”The nuclear mystical aspects” is very clear to me, and merits a blog on its own.

The nuclear mystical aspects of these paintings have rarely been looked into, or understood.......rhino horns, cashews and the space between or atoms all all closely tied and act as proof that Dali was one of the originators of chaos theory.

I pointed out that the cashew exhibited all the mystical logarithmic qualities of the rhinocerous horn, with the addition of buttocks.....which pleased Salvador immensely!!! Thank you for including my anecdote. Mostly unknown was the evolution of the rhinocerous horn, a topic Dali and I covered many times.
