Artlyst: Paula Rego And Lord Harries Respond To Art And Religion

My latest article for Artlyst highlights approaches to the interface between art and religion used by Paula Rego and Richard Harries:

'As Rego viewed paintings by Crivelli in the National Gallery’s collection, she imagined herself walking down the street depicted in Crivelli’s ‘Annunciation with Saint Emidius’ and re-emerging alongside Saint Sebastian in the ‘La Madonna della Rondine’ altarpiece. This inspired her to imagine a world in which Crivelli’s saints would co-exist within the same space and led to her decision to create her own version of the garden ...

Rego’s work as Associate Artist at the National Gallery represents one way of responding to the Western tradition of art and religion; Richard Harries’ book ‘Majesty’ represents another. ‘Majesty’ spotlights 50 iconic paintings from the Royal Collection and a variety of renowned museums throughout the world, including The Met, MOMA, National Gallery, Vatican Museums, The Hermitage and more. With a commentary on each artwork by the former Bishop of Oxford and House of Lords life peer, the book juxtaposes important artworks – Caravaggio to Van Gogh, Raphael to Rembrandt – with quotes from Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved Christmas broadcasts and words of wisdom from the Gospels.'

Epiphany: light bulb moments

I adapted an assembly from the SPCK site for this morning's sermon at St John's Seven Kings on the Epiphany. The assembly is about light-bulb moments or epiphanies "when the penny drops, everything clicks into place and understanding comes."

As a visual aid for light bulb moments I used a Magic Light Bulb which lights up in your hand. This proved very effective as a talking point and aid to remembering the point of the sermon which was that at Epiphany we try to understand again all that Jesus is. We want to make sure the penny has dropped, that everything about our faith has clicked into place, and that we understand personally Jesus’ relationship with us.

Support for the Dave Walkers

For the latest on support for Dave Walker in the SPCK/SSG saga and the 'cease and desist' notices sent by Mark Brewer of SSG click here and here. The 'cease and desist' notices, one of which Sam Norton has posted, appear to be attempts to prevent free speech on matters that are on the public record. Dave, and now Sam Norton, need support over these attacks on their right to free speech.

Yet another Dave Walker

A legal threat has been made against cartoonist Dave Walker by Mark Brewer to force him to take down his reporting and comment about the SPCK bookshop chain’s takeover and management by the Society of Saint Stephen the Great (SSG). As Matt Wardman has pointed out this is about the right to discuss the issue in public and not have anyone try and close down debate by having (or claiming to have) access to a legal sanction that prevents freedom of speech.

Who's Posted about Mark Brewer's Cease and Desist Notice to Dave Walker

  1. St Aidan to Abbey Manor - David Keen - Vicar (Yeovil)

  2. The Wardman Wire - Matt Wardman (audio of BBC interview from 12/2007)

  5. Blogula-Rasa - Ginny (detailed - worth a read)

  6. Metacatholic - Doug Chaplin - Vicar (West Midlands)

  8. Seven whole days - Scott Gunn - Parish Priest (Rhode Island) and Lambeth Conference.

  9. Thinking Anglicans - Simon Kershaw - Cambridge, England (likely to follow further press coverage)

  10. The Jewish Blog Network - How to recover deleted pages. Firefox Resurrect Pages add-on.

  11. Lingamish - Blogger Bludgeoned by Bozos - David Ker - Mozambique. Kudos for the cartoon above.

  12. [Update: 23/07/2008] SPCK Watch - Gagging attempts by Mark Brewer - SPCK Watch. (Somewhere in Europe). Whole blog devoted to SPCK saga.
