Argyle Sweater, in Three Prints, by Joe P Vogels.
collection of prophetic inforgraphics from the 19th century millerites, including some fascinating examples of last days chronographs and time lines. the formal components of the work, including the goldish yellow to indicate heaven and the non infographic work, including a strange and lovely illustration of the book of Daniel, suggest aesthetically the connections that have been made by the millerites and other american prophetic protestant sects (ie the demons and dragons look watchtowery,hulbert's tree of life looks shakery, and the collusus of daniel looks lds.) (its also interesting how much the millerites put on daniel. Carol Crown, who did a show of bibically based apolyptic art from the american south alst year, adn who is an art historian, writes about some similar themes here a long article with some images that mostly are in black and white, she points out issues of scale, and how even at gigantic scale, the information contained in them falls off the edges or is packed into most availble surfaces...which i think is one of the things that marks the best of evangelical or religious work. she fails to mention the use of colour as both a aesthetic and informational code which is problematic. This is esp true for the Millerites obsession with the images of Nabuchnezzer in Daniel 2:32-35:
e head of this image was of fine gold,(B) its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, 33(C) its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34As you looked, a stone was cut out(D) by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and(E) broke them in pieces. 35Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became(F) like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that(G) not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became(H) a great mountain(I) and filled the whole earth.
i can imagine how this image would be comforting to people thinking of themselves against the american state, or the american mainstream...
I would like more information on Henritta Black or Joesphine Lawson, but google is proving difficult
Henrietta Black (1900-1971),Daniel 2 and 8, 1935.
Remember the day of disappointment was 90 years before this picture was painted.
Joesphine Lawson
Prophecy Chart, Colossus of Daniel 2, 1917,
Oil, tempera, and ink on cotton muslin
(She was born 15 years after the great disappointment)
both Black and Lawson would have considered themselves adventists.
speaking of similar things here are some celestial charts that attempts to prove that the earth is the center of the earth, from the 19th Century.
