Art: All Things Tempting... by Artist Katherine Thornton Brown
This piece was based on the book 'Cyrano De Bergerac'...where the theme of the crazyness for Cyrano's love for his cousin Roxane is portrayed. The seven deadly sins are quite evident...especially you will see for those who are familiar with the plot of Cyrano De Bergerac...the Lust for his cousin, the greed for her love, the envy for him to have her love only (despite his big nose...), the wrath he exudes to any man who tries to get close to his Roxane, the gluttony of trying to win her love, and the pride he has for his love for her and for them to be together. This is an assemblage...as there are metal pieces and sewn areas...an original handwritten antique love letter from a man to his love, and other applications which help emphasize the torment of his love for her.
