Pieta

An article in the Aug '05 issue presents the author's love for Michelangelo's Pieta (3 sculptures and 1 study), with great emphasis on the Vatican Pieta (shown below). The journey is not an analysis of the art pieces, but a presentation of a personal love affair...

What is art, if not a love affair?
Both defy analysis.

But oh, such tenderness.

I look forward to the first issue...

Brilliant! Brilliant!
Such resonance in opinions!! True, true! What else could art be but a personal love affair requiring the least sanctions from the world external?!! :-)
And the tenderness? Aaaah! Must be felt, something that can hardly be felt!!

...and the elusive paradox of such tender freedoms always drawing one back for more...
