    'Christ Rising.' 2004. Oil on paper. Signed and dated at bottom right. Signed and dated on verso. 20 x 13 1/2; 24 x 17 1/2" (overall). Matted. Depictions of Christ with an erection can be found as early as 13th Century Franciscan art. Another, and later noted example is Ludwig Krug's (1488 - 1532) "Christ as the Man of Sorrows." As recently as this year the Times of London reported: "Father Thomas McHale, the priest at Our Blessed Lady Immaculate in Blackhill, Consett, shocked parishioners when he took to the pulpit on Good Friday and told the congregation that Jesus had died with an erection. The local diocese investigated, and upheld a complaint into his conduct." The article goes on to note: "The subject was aired in a 2015 article in Premier Christianity magazine, which related the “strange physiological reaction … the final shame of a crucified man”. A diocese spokesman said: “Father McHale has accepted that his words were inappropriate and has apologized. He remains in post as parish priest.”

    'Cruxifiction.' 2004. Oil on paper. Signed and dated at bottom right and signed and dated on the verso. 21 x 14; 25 x 18" (overall). Matted. Several of the most significant depictions in art history of the crucifixion and Christ, and by the greatest artists, depict the Savior naked. For example, "Christ the Redeemer" by Michelangelo (1519–1521) depicts Christ naked. "Christ's sexual organs are exposed in order to show that his sexuality is uncorrupted by lust and completely controlled by his will, so that in his resurrected body he shows his triumph over both sin and death." ("The Sexuality of Christ in Renaissance Art and in Modern Oblivion," Dr. Leo Steinberg). "Crucifixion and Last Judgment" by Jan Van Eyck (c.?1430–1440) depicts Christ wearing a translucent lion cloth. In Santo Spirito by Michelangelo (1519–1521), Christ is depicted naked.

    Jun. 06, 2024

    SHOZO NAGANO Untitled.

    Est: $2,000 - $3,000

    SHOZO NAGANO Untitled. Oil on canvas stretched and mounted on cut, geometric-shaped wood, 1978. 1155x1740 mm; 45½x68½ inches. Signed and dated in oil, lower center verso. Provenance: Private collection, Chicago. Nagano (1928-2008) was a Japanese-born artist who studied at Kanazawa Fine Arts University during the turbulent era of the military occupation of Japan by the Allied Powers after its defeat in World War II and began showing his work in Tokyo galleries as part of the "Timism" group of Japanese abstract artists. In the early 1960s he decided to explore the life of an expatriate artist and sailed across the Pacific on a tramp steamer bound for Santiago, Chile. By 1965 he had settled in New York, living in a tenement on the Lower East Side, unable to afford canvas he painted on bed sheets. By this time, he had begun experimenting with the geometric, shaped canvas format that has come to characterize his work and for which his popularity increased at galleries and public collections in New York and throughout the United States.
