Red Disaster

Katherine Kerr Art History 9/18/13 Ms. Freeman Red Disaster by Andy Warhol When visiting the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, One would probably not head straight to the contemporary art wing. With several prominent artists on display, hours could be spent drifting through the American wing, rife with Copleys, or looking at the Ancient Near Eastern art. Some don?t even know that the contemporary wing is no longer under construction and open to the public. However, amid the numerous beeping sounds of people standing too close to art, or simply being ignorant of the fact that what stands before them is not trash that someone had left in the exhibit, there hangs 12 silkscreened pictures with an important message on a red background stark against a white wall.

4.02 The work of art pictured is Theodora?s Mosaic in the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Theodora was Justinian?s wife whom he married for love. Her humble origin set a precedent for empresses in a lower class chosen for their beauty. Theodora is shown wearing purple and abundance of jewels; even more than the mosaic opposite this one depicting Justinian. The connection between church and state are key elements to the mosaic. Theodora?s robe at the bottom shows the three magi from the nativity story. She is shown holding a cup used for Holy Communion. The bright and various colors of the robes of the courtiers are characteristic of Byzantine Art. The halo around Theodora?s head makes her seem as not just the Emperor?s wife but a Christian ruler in her own right.
