Part of The Last Quartets art series, Anointed depicts my vision of the first movement of Schubert's last string quartet: D.887 in G major. A newborn seed finally sprouts up into a hostile world, nourished by the blood of sacrifice and compassion. While this sprout is the soul, the crow on top of the chalice is the physical self. Nourished by this blood of unconditional love, this crow sees another and begins to wonder what form this spiritual love might take here on earth.
My vision for the four collages that make up this Schubert quartet is a story about the pain of earthly incarnation and the ways we alchemize that pain to create a meaningful life for ourselves.
This listing is for a fine art print on archival matte paper. The print continues to the edges with no border and ships rolled from my print on demand company. To flatten, place a heavy book on top for a day or two. Please choose your size below, either 8, 10, or 12 inches.
