| “Here
is the baby Moses, all quick pink daubs for arm and face, a blue
cone for the servant bending over the tarred basket, lithe orange
flourishes for bulrushes, and a gray column for Pharaoh's imperious
daughter. Elsewhere, a dark interior frames a sunlit opening, these
rectangles locked together by a blocky brazier with orange flames
that echo nearby palm fronds. Two bodies lie in the gloom—a
few deft strokes contrast a father's stumbling shock with Moses'
stern, upright carriage as God's messenger. These 14 biblical scenes,
painted with a drippy, Abstract Expressionist brio, are devoid
of both fundamentalist didacticism and secular snarkiness, while
beautifully evoking the imperfect humanity underlying the divine.” —R.C.
