Le Chemin de Croix 1973

Dado's 1973 painting, "Le Chemin de Croix" (The Way of the Cross), presents a haunting and enigmatic scene. The central figure, a skeletal silhouette, stands atop a platform, while a skeletal cross looms behind. Birds and other fragmented forms are strewn about the canvas, creating a sense of disarray and decay. The image evokes themes of death, religion, and the fragility of life, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring power of mortality. The work exemplifies Dado's signature style, characterized by a blend of surrealism and symbolism, with influences from Renaissance and Baroque art.
