Subject
A note from LeRoy Neiman on iconography.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman looks at religious iconography (i.e. mother and child) and the notion of mass production, or reproduction. The writing then playfully merges a discussion of Christian religious institution with both his interest in printmaking as well as commercialization. Neiman nips this consideration short with an aphorism from A.J. Liebling. The nature of the document proves unclear.

The Madonna, which appeared repeatedly on holy cards during the depression, to this day is (was) the Byzantine virgin and (Christ) child petitioning, “Mother of perpetual help, pray for us![“] It’s reproduction as images of ecclesiastic propaganda that are lodged in my memory. The power of reproduction.
