What's more interesting to today's audiences: (a) Peter Paul Rubens was a Baroque artist, or (b) that Rubens was interested in women and God? The answer is "b" according to the director of the Detroit Institute of Arts. This past week, Graham W.J. Beal, the museum's director credited Edsel Ford's 1933 commissioning of a Diego Rivera mural for putting the workers of Detroit at the center the museum experience. A detail of that mural with the holy family being inoculated (above) is my NEWS OF WEEK. What can you do to help restore the status of religious art in your community?
