A color lithograph of two angels has been added this week to the Benton Spruance gallery in the Sacred Artists section. From the 1940s onward Master Printmaker Spruance went against prevailing secular trends in modern art and introduced more spiritual themes into his work. Spruance was especially drawn to angels, using these celestial beings to make wise and witty comparisons with the ways of humankind. In this charming image of two dancing angels, Spruance captures a feeling of pure bliss as these two messengers of God behold a third, radiant figure, whom we glimpse from the shadows, looking over their shoulders. The artist must have enjoyed playing with this two-figure composition of elongated bodies and rounded wings! (John Kohan)
