Sacrificial Love Society: The Visionary Drawings of Stephen Palmer

Sacrificial Love Society: The Visionary Drawings of Stephen Palmer at Ricco|Maresca Gallery. "...Stephen Palmer (1882-1965) produced a massive record of Christian faith in the guise of roughly four hundred known and recently discovered gouache paintings on paper. As private devotional works, they demonstrate the layered complexity and subversive potential of religious imagery. As artifacts uncovered, they speak about an era. As a collective effort, they hold clues to reconstructing the psychology and motivations of an individual."
