MASS for the LIVING
PRINT by DANIEL MITSUI


MASS for the LIVING


The depicts the application of the graces of the Mass to the living. A priest reads the Diptychs of the Living; the beginning of this ancient prayer from the Canon of the Mass I wrote on a banderole. A dove representing the Holy Ghost carries the prayer to laborers, contemplative nuns and a knight. This reflects a traditional categorization of society into those who work, those who pray and those who fight.

The decorative border was inspired by the borders in the Sherborne Missal, a 14th-century English manuscript, and the borders in the printed Books of Hours produced by the partnership of Philippe Pigouchet and Simon Vostre in 15th-century Paris. It includes miniature pictures of church buildings, clergymen and hermits, and of a Gothic monstrance holding the Virgin and Child. A small emblem at the top depicts the Hand of God . A quatrefoil in the bas-de-page contains an image of the Lamb of God. These are surrounded by vines, flowers and cribly.

The print is based on my ink drawings. It is about one and a half times larger than the originals.
