When I saw "Rhapsody" on page 6 of the May Journal, I thought, "This looks like a Hans Hofmann painting!" I was familiar with only two of his works, "Land of Bliss and Wonder and lowering Clouds," which were part or a private collection at the law firm where I had worked in Los Angeles. They played an important part in my learning to appreciate and enjoy contemporary art. Seeing the photograph of "Rhapsody" was like meeting a relative of dear friends.
I am grateful for the Journal's inclusion of such works, because they lift art into its spiritual dimension—exploring line, form, and color without being weighed down by material objects. It seems to me to fulfill Mrs. Eddy's prophecy inScience and Health "Thought will finally be understood and seen in all form, substance, and color, but without material accompaniments" (p. 310).
