Jacob Kainen was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, in 1909. As the second of three sons born to Russian immigrants, Kainen grew up in a family that appreciated culture and talent. His father's artistry as an inventor and his mother's love for music and literature undoubtedly fostered in Kainen an insatiable interest in art. Even at age ten, Kainen was eager to study master works, including clippings of art reproductions from The Jewish Daily Forward in his scrapbooks. In 1918, the family moved to New York City, where Kainen's budding passion would further advance with trips to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York Public Library. Poetry and literature became major components of his artistic study during high school. When Kainen graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School at sixteen, he was too young to be admitted to the Pratt Institute. In the meantime he took drawing classes at the Art Students League, where Kimon Nicolaides taught him to "trust in the freedom and sureness of his hand". It was during this period that Kainen made his first prints, drypoint etchings. Kainen used this time to further exercise his interests by working in the classics department of Brentano's bookstore, as well as developing his skills as a boxer. Kainen would go on to become an expert in the classics and quite a skilled amateur prizefighter.

Graceful, flexibility, creativity, intelligence, unpredictability - these traits are all attributed to the Octopus, which is too often seen as a monster from the sea. The Astronomia Art Octopus combines an intricate titanium sculpture with sophisticated miniature painting. The resulting work of art, placed on top of the Astronomia Tourbillon four satellite structure, is a triumph of artistry.

For me as theorist, these are examples of artistry that evidencestewardship when one conceives of the matter with biblically led reflection.Stewardship, we might understand, is "faithful implementation ofappropriate resources to beget shalom." (2) Tiktak's carving, theZulu song I heard, and Rembrandt and Rouault's artworks are resourcefulartistic acts that answer well God's creational call for humans to beimaginative and to bring aesthetic blessings to our fellow humans in societyand into the world at large.

First, artworks, as I understand the matter of artistry, areobjects or events produced by imaginative humans who have the skill to givemedia (stone, paint, words, voice) a defining quality of allusivity thatbrings nuanced knowledge to others who give the object informed attention.(3) Although craft control (techne) is basic to art-making, a set of skillsis not sufficient to qualify the production of art. I could play a pianopiece with metronomic precision and not strike a false note, but theperformance will be stillborn as artistry if it lacks an imaginative finish.As a good blues trumpeter would say, "Don't play the notes, man,play music!"

Artworks can be beautiful, like most statues of Buddha, or uglylike the grotesque painting of Christ's crucifixion depicted by MathiasGrunewald in the Isenheim altar at Colmar, France. If a would-be artworkmisses being molded to a suggestion-rich metaphoric nature, the object orevent could be a great show of technique, an honest burst of angry feeling, alovely investment, but it is not bonafide artistry. Artwork is an entity oract defined by adequately answering in its very structural formation toGod's creational ordinance, "Be imaginative!"

Second, what should mark the response of the art public, artcritic, and art patron if they would be good stewards of artistry? In myjudgment, as Christians we should respond to art as worldly-wise (phronimoi)as snakes in the grass and remain as innocent as doves (Matt. 10:16).

For ordinary followers of Christ to be worthy stewards ofartistry, they need to rise to the imaginative occasion artworks present andrespond first of all on an imaginative wavelength, not at the level ofemotional likes and dislikes or with a judgment up front as to whether itsdogmatic content be kosher or not. It may take time for simple, busyChristians to realize that God likes poetry (the Bible is filled with it inJob and Isaiah), God approves of sculpture (unless it becomes an idol; Num.21:4-9 and 2 Kings 18:1-8), and God asks to be serenaded with songs (bothpraise and lamenting psalms). A Christian Appraising Artwork for Dummiesmanual would ask learners to relax, empathetically take in the subtleties ofan artwork, trusting that your basic sanctified sensitivity (cf. paseaisthesei! Phil. 1:9-11) will give you dovelike protection while yourserpentine wariness slips into gear. The more experience a person has ingrasping that it is normative in God's world for artworks to transformdissimilars into a similative surprise (N.B. metaphor) that disclosesresemblances of an odd sort that provide ambiguous, fine knowledge of nuances(7)--and that is good knowledge and has proven so throughout history--themore such a person will be a reliable steward in reception of art.

Stewardly response to art objects will draw wisdom from whateversimulated product is given. One's judicious reception of artworks willnormally be mixed, if not conflicted, because human artistry is complex, andthe spirit of a piece or rendition may turn its embodied insight off-color. Aseasoned, professional art critic such as Peter Schjeldahl will often use anoxymoron, like "this show's violent grandeur," to catch theflavor of Ensor's retrospective at the MOMA in New York. (8) Inaddition, Paul Borolsky is on track with his plea for art critics to writeevaluative art history with flair, in keeping with the prickly, subtle natureof art, rather than assess artwork in pedantic, overly analytic terms,betraying the critic's positivistic lineage. (9)

It is so that Christian art critics remain subjective, as dosurgeons contemplating surgery, but one must become the most reliable(subjective) surgeon one can be, plumbing and focusing on the intricacies orshallowness of the art product in one's exposition, so as not to misleadothers. It is stewardly to point out Andy Warhol's orthodox ByzantineCatholic orientation with its tradition of icons, to understand his serialsilk screen close-ups of famous faces but still brave Warhol's immensepopularity by stating, "Warhol represents a typical postmodern stance ofnon-commitment, a cultivated stance of nonchalance and indifference thatlooks at the world with a kind of detachment." (10) If anybody haswasted several hours, as I have, watching a cinematic production byWarhol's The Factory highlighting the boredom of trivia, one is indeedtempted to characterize such pop art as a bad faith mystification ofartistry, falsely pretending there is no difference between artistic eventsand/or products and ordinary life.

An art patron acts stewardly when the patronage enables artists toserve their neighbors with pertinent artistry that has the wherewithal tomake an imaginative difference that has staying power in their lives. To hirea fascinating storyteller for your children's birthday parties, or pay apoet to compose a sonnet for your graduation or anniversary, or splurge byhaving a portrait painted of the grandparents before they die, are allstewardly attempts to bring the specialness of artistry in to brighten up andfreshen family life with memories that bespeak troth and intimacy.

A striking example of large-scale stewardship in art patronage isJaume Plensa's Crown Fountain (1999-2004) in Chicago's MillenniumPark [illustration B]. The two, 50-foot high towers of glass on which 1,000different Chicago inhabitants' faces are projected every thirteenminutes, smiling, slowly pursing their lips until a stream of water gushesout of their fountain mouths, preside over 2,200 square meters of blackgranite covered with a thin sheet (3 millimeters) of water. The wealthy Crownfamily has not sponsored an expensive piece of museum art plunked downsomewhere (such as the Picasso and Miro sculptures a few blocks away) but hasgiven a fortune for genuine public artwork that breathes neighborly life intothe city--the distinguishing mark of real public artistry. (11) Childrenscream and splash and frolic in the spurting fountain, adults walk around onwater, and tourists and locals mingle friendily; I even saw a young fellowwithout legs wheel his chair into the melee to get wet, happily joining thecrowd.

The very antithesis to the blessing of this patronage behindPlensa's people-friendly artwork is the Cor-Ten steel Tilted Arc (1981)by Richard Serra, which obstructed pedestrian passage across a plaza in NewYork City (until its 120 feet long, 12 feet high blank barren structure wasforcibly, amid lawsuits, removed). (12) An art patron has great power toshape the imaginative life of artists and bystanders; patrons, from aChristian perspective, certainly need to know what artistry by nature is anddoes and also what time it is and the place where they intend to spreadartistic grace. e24fc04721
