Left: “The dark day of May 19, 1780. The seven stars were seen 12 N. in the day. The cattle wall went to bed, chickens to roost and the trumpet was blown. The sun went off to a small spot and then to darkness.“ Right: “The crucifixion of Christ between the two thieves. The sun went into darkness. Mary and Martha weeping at his feet. The blood and water run from his right side.” Note the way that the visual repetition of celestial bodies creates a link between the scene of recent history and Christ’s passion.https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/02-quilt-edited.pngHarriet Powers, historical and climatological panelsHarriet Powers, Pictorial Quilt, edited by the author to highlight historical and climatological panelshttps://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pacino-di-bonaguida_tree-of-life.jpgPacino di Bonaguida_Tree of LifePacino di Bonaguida, The Tree of Life, 1320.

Photo by the artist. Commissioned for the cathedral's 300th anniversary. Ben Quash calls it "ex-voto-like." Anyone in the city who wanted to give a birthday present to the cathedral was invited to participate, and indeed there were not only Christians but also Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, and people of no declared faith. Lever said, “These individual boats—these little, fragile, card boats—were held within the nave of the cathedral and lifted up, literally and metaphorically, as an offering. You would have seen a kind of gently fluttering cloud of gold, and as you moved up and down the nave, you would see that as a boat-shaped flotilla. Each boat was heading east towards the high altar. And you would have seen a multitude of glistening, fragile, card boats, bobbing slightly on the warm air that was rising. The word ‘Soul Boats’ seemed to fit” ("The Art of Faith," BBC Sunday Worship, 16 Feb 2020, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000fdxp). https://www.artlyst.com/features/art-christianity-awards-positive-new-millennium-legacy-revd-jonathan-evens/; https://www.artandchristianity.org/award-jake-lever; https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgpKafFTCp/; https://www.artway.eu/content.php?id=2173&lahttps://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/lever-jake_hailes-boats.jpgLever, Jake_Hailes BoatsJake Lever (British, 1963–), Hailes Boats, 2013.

Here she is at my wedding in 2010 with my cousins Alex and Danny. To this day, whenever I reference her to friends, they say, "I remember her! The dancing lady in the red dress!"https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/picture-072.jpgAunt Marjie at Villa JovisThis is a genuine reaction to I-don't-remember-what inside Villa Jovis on Capri. Aunt Marjie loved history, and she loved old rocks. Her ultra-expressiveness was one of her much-beloved traits.https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/picture-008.jpgTrevi FountainMom, me, and Aunt Marjie throwing coins into the Trevi Fountain in Rome.

She livened up every outing and taught me not to care what other people think. Here we are with her son Orion, singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" on a boardwalk in 2002—deserted because it's December!https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/marjie-and-vic-making-cookies1.jpgMaking cookies with Aunt MarjieMe and Aunt Marjie making cookies at Grandmom and Poppies' house in Pleasantville, New York, in March 1991. When I was older Aunt Marjie told me that she had actually been in mourning that month over the loss of a child through miscarriage, and that this was the first time she had smiled in weeks. "It was a healing moment I have never forgotten," she said.2024-08-30T16:27:15+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2021/02/23/lent-day-7/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/florence-nathan_winging-phoenix.jpgFlorence, Nathan_Winging Phoenix2024-08-30T08:13:52+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2021/02/22/lent-day-6/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/newport-mark__mend-9-detail.jpgNewport, Mark__Mend 9 (detail)2024-08-30T08:12:31+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2021/02/21/lent-day-5/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/st.-juliana-of-nicomedia-and-the-devil.jpgSt. Juliana of Nicomedia and the devilhttps://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/st.-juliana-binding-the-devil.jpgSt. Juliana binding the devil2024-08-30T08:11:35+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2021/02/20/lent-day-4/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/messina-antonello-da_christ-crucified-001.jpgMessina, Antonello da_Christ Crucified-001Antonello da Messina (Italian, d. 1479), "Christ Crucified," 1475. Oil on wood, 41.9 x 25.4 cm. National Gallery, London. John Berger said, "This is the most solitary painting of the scene that I know. The most allegorical." "Antonello has composed the picture with a low viewpoint; it is as if we are looking up at a Crucifix placed upon an altar. This association is a reminder that Christ’s death would come to be celebrated by the Christian Church as an act of salvation. Our picture owes some debt to Netherlandish versions of this subject by Jan van Eyck and other painters, which were usually also painted on a small scale, with Christ’s slender body isolated high above the figures below and in front of a broad landscape background. Antonello has simplified the image – excluding any detail from the biblical narrative – to focus upon Christ’s sacrifice and suffering." https://nap.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fi%C3%B9ra:Antonello_da_Messina_028.jpg; https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/antonello-da-messina-christ-crucifiedhttps://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/messina-antonello-da_christ-crucified.jpgMessina, Antonello da_Christ Crucified2024-08-30T08:11:01+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2021/02/19/lent-day-3/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/john-c.f._gathering-fragment.jpgJohn, C.F._Gathering Fragments 12024-08-30T08:08:12+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2021/02/18/lent-day-2/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/hadida-valerie_nuage-detail.jpgHadida, Valérie_Nuage (detail)https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/hadida-valerie_nuage.jpgHadida, Valérie_Nuage2024-08-30T08:07:06+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2021/02/17/lent-day-1-ash-wednesday/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/johnson-bradford_untitled.jpgJohnson, Bradford_Untitled2024-08-30T08:06:38+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2017/03/07/art-resources-for-lent/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/goodacre-glenna_vietnam-womens-memorial.jpgGoodacre, Glenna_Vietnam Women's MemorialGlenna Goodacre (American, 1939–), Vietnam Women's Memorial, 1993.

Digital painting, 20 x 16 in. (or 30 x 24 in.). "I created this digital painting for an upcoming show called De-Colonizing the Christ, put on by St. Stephens Episcopal Cathedral. The show aims to foster the creation of imagery of Jesus that dispels the notion of him as a White man. While Jesus most likely looked middle-eastern, was probably bearded, and definitely didn’t smoke cigarettes, I was interested in creating an image of Jesus made up of contemporary faces of the marginalized. In America, this is the story of Black and Brown people, immigrants, LGBT people, the poor, and women. I believe the story of Jesus’ love and redemption is for all humanity—all colors, all genders, all ages, all body types, all cultures, all sub-cultures, all abilities, all orientations—both sinners and saints. Everyone. In some circles this may be shocking, and I welcome any conversation on the topic. Feel free to comment or message me whether you love it, hate it, or have questions about it. I’d love to hear from you." http://www.ststep.org/de-colonizing-christ-art-exhibit-considers-racial-justice/; https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtTaTir4ql/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/faith-in-arts-institute.pngFaith in Arts Institutehttps://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/god-in-the-modern-wing.jpgGod in the Modern Winghttps://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/de-colonizing-christ-exhibition-poster.jpgDe-Colonizing Christ exhibition posterThe poster image is Pantocrator in Black and Brown by Brian Behmart from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which has been awarded Best in Show.2024-06-18T06:40:27+00:00monthlyhttps://artandtheology.org/2022/02/10/roundup-steve-prince-harriet-powers-more/https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/powers-harriet_pictorial-quilt.jpgPowers, Harriet_Pictorial QuiltHarriet Powers (American, 1837–1910), Pictorial Quilt, 1895–98.

Asia Minor, probably Phrygia (Central Turkey). Marble, 41.5 x 36 x 18.5 cm (16 5/16 x 14 3/16 x 7 5/16 in.). Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA. This marble likely decorated a house or an ornamental fountain, although a funerary context is also possible. It is one of four freestanding statuettes illustrating the story of Jonah that were found in southwest Asia Minor (Turkey). These statuettes suggest that by the end of the third century, this emblem decorated the homes of wealthy Christians, likely as a means of self-identification and an expression of faith. http://www.clevelandart.org/art/1965.238; alt photo: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/bstorage/5821503085/; see PICTURING THE BIBLE, p. 191https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/newman-barnett_cathedra.jpgNewman, Barnett_CathedraBarnett Newman (American, 1905–1970), Cathedra, 1951.

"Heinrich Vogeler (Breman, December 12, 1872 – Kazakhstan, 1942) was a German painter, designer, and architect, associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. He volunteered for military service in World War I in 1914, and he was sent to the eastern front in 1915. Vogeler came to know of the Bolsheviks ideology during his time at the front as well as through his trips to Poland, Romania, Dobrudscha and Russia. After he made a written appeal for peace to the German Emperor, he was briefly sent to a mental hospital in Bremen before being discharged from military service." https://www.flickr.com/photos/gandalfsgallery/18197285006/in/dateposted/.

The crucifix is based on a design by Luís Espinal (1932–1980), a Jesuit priest assassinated in 1980 by right-wing militia. Bolivia's communications minister, Marianela Paco, told Bolivian radio that "the sickle evokes the peasant, the hammer the carpenter, representing humble workers, God's people."

Such ghostly interactions produce from two Mangum portraits an entirely new image altogether, one in which the pride and pleasure of self-presentation is shadowed by the racial realities of the time.”https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/hugh-magnum-photographs2.jpgHugh Magnum photographsIn some of the negatives the panels have fused, causing the subjects to extend past their frames and thus giving the illusion that they were sitting together.https://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/hugh-magnum-photographs4.jpgHugh Magnum photographshttps://artandtheology.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/hugh-magnum-photographs.jpgHugh Magnum photographsPhotographs by Hugh Magnum, courtesy of the David M.
