THE SOMETHING SERIES: THE HEART IN ACTION
A presentation by Francis Greene, Art Historian, on Andy Warhol’s realism and the religious sense
— — —
Art is the image of creation, but if it were only this, it wouldn’t have life. Art lives because it is the image of God in creation. It is the image of the return of creation to God, but art would not be alive as an image of God if the artist was not himself an image of God-Person.
~William Congdon, Notes from a talk to ISTRA, June 12, 1975
