Samant paints the way he plays music: he tries to combine in the present moment all the root wisdom of past experience. "I believe that a great work of art is timeless," he says, and he learned his art by studying the paleolithic cave paintings at Lascaux, Sumerian tablets, and linear Egyptian murals. Prime examples are now on view at Manhattan's World House Galleries. To recapture timelessness in a modern idiom, Samant works spontaneously like an action painter, performing with his passionate pastel colors in such fast-drying media as spackle and plastic wood. Then he watches...
...that Gottlieb, along with Mark Rothko, published the credo that has guided his work ever since. True reality for the artist, he said, lies not in perishable externals, but in the timeless images within himself. A well-painted picture is not necessarily a work of art because "there is no such thing as a good painting about nothing." Moreover, the proper subject matter for art comes from the world of imagination, which is "fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense."

But Bishop Stockwood believes that time is running out. As he declared after his consecration as bishop: "I have nothing but contempt for a church that sets out to be eclectic, that just wants to draw to itself the holy holy Anglo-Catholics. I have every use for a church that sets out to draw all those living within its boundaries...
...degree in universal knowledge who has tossed his index cards into the nearest bottle after emptying it at a gulp. His note writer is a nameless wanderer on a ship that finally founders in icy seas. The surface of his world is all history, held in an instantaneous, timeless memory where the flight of the Enola Gay over Hiroshima is contemporary with the imprisonment of Galileo, and where, for example, Nero might fiddle while Chicago burns. The depth he contemplates is the inexhaustible profundity of human cruelty. A man's hands are slashed and filled with salt, another...
