What I'm attempting in each picture is nothing other than this...to bring together in a living and viable way, the most different and the most contradictory elements in the greatest possible freedom.
Gerhard...the Blessed will see their friends and relations among the damned as often as they like but without the least of compassion.
GerhardWe are justified freely, for Christโs sake, by faith, without the exertion of our own strength, gaining of merit, or doing of works. To the age-old question, โWhat shall I do to be saved?โ the confessional answer is shocking: โNothing! Just be still; shut up and listen for once in your life to what God the Almighty, creator and redeemer, is saying to his world and to you in the death and resurrection of his Son! Listen and believe!โ
GerhardIf you begin with the assumption of freedom, the preoccupation is always how to keep freedom in check, how to bind; But if you begin with the assumption of bondage, the preoccupation is always how to set out the word that frees.
