Inside,
sundry lovers of art scrutinize the Mulleian
paintings. A tall Swede with an unruly shock of straw-colored
hair fumbles in his vest pocket, never once taking his eyes off a
starkly beautiful painting called "The Cloth." Pulling
out a magnifying glass, he intently
examines the phenomenal folds of dazzling white cloth
hanging against a black "void." The lush folds seem bathed in celestial
light, and the rust-colored stains of blood near the tattered bottom
speak somberly of the suffering and death of
Christ. Segment from "PORTRAIT OF A MAN AS
A YOUNG ARTIST" by Stanley
Medders, noted American writer. To read more go to biography page. |
