Study for Abraham Lincoln: The Great Emancipator
by Dean Morrissey
In November 1864, President Lincoln was re-elected despite widespread
war-weariness in the North. Sherman’s recent capture of Atlanta gave
hope that the Civil War was near its end. The Great Emancipator
nickname referred to Lincoln’s 1862 Emancipation Proclamation, a
sweeping political move that freed slaves in territories not already
under Union control.
Artist Dean Morrissey’s moving portrait captures the President at the
close of the Civil War contemplating an unknown future for the United
States. Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865, a mere five days after
Robert E. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse.
He died the next morning. The Great Emancipator, done with his earthly,
practical duties, entered the realm of hero and legend.

Bridge to the Spirit World
by Mian Situ
The location of this new release by Mian
Situ is Canyon de Chelly in northeastern Arizona. Today it is a Navajo
Tribal Trust land and home to the preserved ruins of the early Anasazi
and Navajo tribes.
“When I
was in Canyon de Chelly in May last year,” says Situ, “I saw a
beautiful rainbow after a storm. The Navajo people believe that the
gods travel on the rainbow because it moves so rapidly. They also
portray the rainbow as the bridge between the human world and the other
side. Navajo people have lived in Canyon de Chelly for generations and
are still living there today, herding sheep and cattle and farming the
land.”
