Sampler includes the work of many photographers, far more than mentioned here, and the character of the exhibit, like the aesthetic discourse implicit within it, only comes together after sustained viewing. The Advocate has put together a unique show, a kind of East meets West in the New England sense; deep and wide, loud and blue--it's not to be missed. There's groovy music...
...self. As Yve-Alain Bois, Joseph Pulitzer Jr. Professor of Modern Art, points out "the grail he (Kelly) sought was his own effacement." During the period of 1948-1955, Kelly sought to find a way not to compose, to relinquish personal agency over his work.

The collection shows a very human side to this quest for enlightenment and tells the story of the actual morals who contemplate and search for divine truth. A simple, modest sketch of a man bowing in prayer provides a solemn contrast to elaborate paintings of wise teachers in rich robes. Sometimes there is no need for ornamentation. One particularly striking work is a black and white photograph of three ascetics...
