Sometimes he passes judgment. Unsurprisingly, he puts it best himself: “I want to float above the fray, want to be like Walt Whitman, ‘both in and out of the game, and watching and wondering at it.’” Johnson’s only shortfall is the shortness of his output—I’d like...

His hair and crown of thorns are rendered with ethereal detail, his face delicately worked, even the drops of blood from the wound in his side are ivory.
