Season’s
greetings to the emulation-curious. The image of a relief is my attempt to
match actions to words, part of a career-long struggle to embody Alberti’s
multi-faceted artist. But it is, more importantly, a musing on Peace, on Cusa’s
concordance of differences, and an homage to a new Pope who seems to be
uniquely capable of matching mission and message. As I
wrote upon his election, there is no inherent conflict between a poor
church and Beauty; St. Francis himself knew that. For a sobering take on what
happens when there is too much money sloshing around in the arts, I offer this
from Jed Perl:
PAX IN TERRA
