Re: My recent Bulletin announcing some old and new photographs and pictures in my pics section,

Apologies, but there were actually meant to be three other paintings on show:

XXXVI Judith Rising Triumphant from the Ruins of Dresden

LIX Non Timebris a Timore Nocturno, &

LXVIII Cybele

But it appears that the thought police have deleted them!

Were the images intentionally or childishly unpleasant this might be – just about – understandable, but as the third one is of a sacred archetype, the second illustrates scripture, and the first is based on a composition by the great 16th century artist (and friend of Martin Luther) Lucas Cranach this strikes me as absolutely perverse.

It is sobering to discover that an image that the founder of the Reformation found permissible has been struck from the 21st century internet!

Happy New Year!
Andrew

Why is it that the thought police always seem to do the least amount of thinking themselves? Kind of ironic, isn't it?
