"…[A]bout
the Icarus painting. The colors and
composition are superb. His body seems
real--the arms especially--like he actually
is in the act of alighting. And the thematic
elements are so rich--reversing both the
Greek and Christian messages: success
following boldness rather than failure
following boldness; and a quietly confident
success rather than suffering and sacrifice.
"Looking
at Icarus, I had a passing thought that you
did for the Icarus legend what Rand's
character Richard Halley did for the
Phaethon legend. And afterwards I was
reminded of Susan's [McCloskey]
lectures...in which she explained how Rand
was aware of the epic figures and forms from
the two major traditions in western
civilization, the Greco-Roman and the
Judeo-Christian, as exemplified in the
characters of Odysseus and Jesus, and how
with her characters in Atlas Shrugged both
incorporated and transcended those
traditions. Your Icarus does that with the
substance and symbolism of the Greek Icarus
and the Christian crucifixion. Incredible."

Postmodernism.
