Non-Sectarian Crucifixion / levy, d.a.., 1964

 Item
Identifier: CC-28462-29731
Scope and Contents

Image is an oil paint semi-realistic sketch of an individual held on a crucifix. The major colors are browns on a white primed background. Geoffrey Cook who owned the painting wrote to the Sackners that "although d.a. was most secular, he was deeply aware of his Jewishness: 'I am a levy of the levites,' and did not wish to have these paintings seen totally in a Christian historical context. I believe, though, levy was drawn to the suffering represented in our own culture by the icon of the cruxifixion because of the suffering he actually felt in his own life. I don't think that the markings below to the right have a significance, I believe they can be explained by the action painting technique." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
