Before, the Devineis, a mixed media collage, printed on paper in size 20x30 framed with a white of black lacquered wood 1.5 inch frame.
I often look at both Midevil and Renascence Art for inspiration. I have had an affinity for Renaissance Art ever since a summer study program took me to Italy for a summer when I was sixteen years old. The program had us based in Florence with day trips out and about the Tuscan towns and villages.
I came upon some beautiful magazine reproductions of Renaissance Art. While reading through some old issues of FMR, an exquisite Art magazine that had a brief run in the eighties, was published by Franco Maria Ricci in Italy. Looking for inspiration for a call for art-themed "SPRING," put out by a Connecticut Art Guild that I am a member of. I started experimenting with a collage and used a color reproduction of Fifthteenth Century Art by an unknown painter of the period, which showed Christ's disciples averting their eyes before God, I assumed.
The outcome of this inspiration was the work titled Before the Devine.
