Color Nativity



Last Christmas I received this card of a painting by Adriaen Isenbrant circa 1521 from the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When I opened it I was surprised at the experience of going from gray and white to color. I wondered if I could achieve a similar experience without the representational content. Could a viewer experience the truth of before and after the birth of Christ in nonrepresentational color? This is my attempt. Contact me if you wish to order cards.

never again
