"The Onion" is a satiric newspaper. We're not supposed to post its articles on FR (although people sometimes do anyway) because they're taken for "news" and we'll run up hundreds of posts about a parody.

So the gist of my remark was that your post seemed too farcical to be real.

Thanks for letting me know about the "Onion." I'm new to FR.

No, it's really called the Stations of the Cross. As I taught class today, I thought I'd see what Freepers had to say. I used to buy all this theory, and I still like Pollock and Rothko and think they are quite spiritual, but Newman seems more and more empty. Did you know that he's Jewish? I've always thought it interesting that a Jewish artists created the Stations pieces, just like Rothko created a non-denominational chapel (but not synagogue) and he's Jewish too.

Well....thinking about this more: maybe that explains how empty the work seems to me now.
