I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. — Romans 12:1-2
Man Ray | Lee Miller, Partners in Surrealism on view from June 11 through December 4, 2011 at the Peabody Essex Museum, Special Exhibition Galleries, East India Square (161 Essex St), Salem, Massachusetts.
From 1929 to 1932, Man Ray and Lee Miller — two giants of the European Surrealism movement — lived together in Paris, first as teacher and student, and later as lovers. Their mercurial relationship resulted in some of the most powerful work of each artist’s career, and helped shape the course of modern art and photography. Combining rare vintage photographs, paintings, sculpture and drawings, this exhibition tells the story of the artists’ brief but intense association and reveals the nature of their creative partnership.
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” — Matthew 16:15-16
