“Two works by the Massachusetts artist Emily Eveleth were commissioned for the exhibition and she chose to invoke the religious counterpart of our red-robed friend, the northern cardinal. The title of one painting, “Embracing the Paradox of the Infinite, After Nicholas Cusa, ” comes from a text by that 15th-century cardinal, a theologian who believed mathematical symbols offered a path to divine truth. Ms. Eveleth has painted the crimson body of a dead male cardinal on a ground of wintry gray, and then incised the icy surround with barely visible euclidean circles and polygons. But it’s the bird itself that is the path.”—Laura Jacobs, WSJ, Feb 11, 2021.
