Subject: RE: Photos of Mitchell Jamieson Painting

Dear Rev. Dunn,

Good morning!  On Monday we were able to photograph the triptych oil painting in three panels by the late Mitchell Jamieson for you and the collaborative arts committee review.  This is an oil painting on linen in three separate panels.  Each panel measures 7'x 7 1/4" long by 4' x 8" wide.  The entire work including all three panels measures 7' x 7 1/4" long by 14' wide.

Attached please find an image of the work depicting the Nativity on the left panel, the Crucifixion on the center panel, and the Resurrection on the right panel.  I will forward a second e-mail that will include several detail shots from the respective panels.

Hopefully, this information in conjunction with the description and appeal from Vienna Cobb-Anderson that you have will help the committee come to a decision.

Thank you so much,

they are very interesting -- interesting enough to go visit.  I still can't imagine installing anything permanent, especially as the redesigned reredos takes shape.  However, as individual panels, they could be an  effective display on the end wall of the Resurrection Chapel for the seasons of Christmas, Lent and Easter 2012-13.

 

I wonder if the Cathedral has any interest in setting up a "lending library" of sacred art and environment that could be shared?  This could be partly a virtual library -- a place for a parish to send photos and inventory (e.g. we have 80 yards of purple and gold clothe) -- and partly a storage closet for actual art works that are homeless like these panels.  The folks who maintain Episcopal Cafe website might have ideas.

 

Peace - gay

I think a lending library is a brilliant idea, i wonder if anyone would want to manage it

as for the art

i personally like it but it strikes me as the sort of thing one could love or hate

i cannot answer the question of what i would think of it in our new space until we have our new space

though i am sure i would not want it permanently on the reredos if we have one

i do treasure the north end of resurrection chapel as a prayer space, even if it sometimes fails to offer this

from many pews that north wall is powerfully visible

i deeply appreciated looking at the top of Christ's head with thorns when it was there as part of the Knippers exhibit 

my two cents, thanks for asking

Wow. These are amazing and very moving. I'm not sure what is best,
but if there were a good way to display them on the North wall of the
Resurrection Chapel or the reredos TEMPORARILY (for a season or set of
seasons, for example), I would be in favor of that. I don't think we
should plan to add permanent art of this size.

However, we would have to be certain we could store them safely when
they were not on display, and that putting them up and taking them
down could also be done safely and well.

Love the idea of a liturgical art "lending library!" Could think
beyond the Cathedral, even beyond the Episcopal Church(!), and see if
someplace like Wesley, Washington Theological Union, or other churches
might want to do this...
