Many-Colored Glass

Many-Colored Glass May 12, 2008

the seminal Dusseldorf academy...
incommensurable sensibilities...

a brief, trenchant moment...

lofty nexus of art and society...

cheap fabric designs, and other desultory sources...

sardonic elan...

painting: an art dismissed as moribund...

something of a serial monomaniac...

rectilinear buildings...

his spiritual bias is pantheistic...

arcane historical sources...

iconophilic style...

a wash of aurate illumination...

spots of disrupting opacity...

flat and lapidary mosaic forms...

stylistic pastiche...

Art Nouveau...

an anodyne tincture of churchiness...

laconic linear arabesques...
