Duane Stephenson is a non-dancehall reggae artist. The reggae sound and beat are not the up-front of the sound; they are the foundation on which his singing voice and his message comfortably perch.

In the world of art -- especially painting -- the name Salvador Dali is synonymous with surrealism. Dali painted dreams on canvas that gave birth to new vistas -- landscapes of terror and amusement where time stood at a standstill, and viewers are lured into the fantastic, more-than-real world that Dali forged from his daily existence. Dali stood at the vanguard of the Surrealist movement, and his paintings now fetch upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain, Dali exhibited artistic talent -- and notable eccentricities -- from an early age. Dali ...

The Spanish painter Salvador Dali was one of the most idiosyncratic and interesting figures of the 20th century, not just for his painting, but for his overall personality and behavior. He was often called eccentric and flamboyant, almost to the detriment of his work. However, despite his odd nature, it cannot be denied that his surrealist paintings carry significant meaning and purpose, as well as incredible aesthetics behind them.

This is no less true in his 1954 painting Crucifixion Corpus Hypercubus, which depicts a rather unique version of Christ on the Cross, combining complex quantum mathematics with a deeply spiritual event. ...
