Scope and Contents
The Sackner Archive lent the painted triptych, "The Divine Comedy" to the first retrospective exhibition of Laffoley's paintings. This work is illustrated in the fold out pages and mentioned in the essay of Jeanne Marie Wasilik. J.W. Mahoney discussed the photographically reproduced serigraph, "The Alchemy of Breathing." The original drawing of this work was commissioned for the '"Beauty of Breathing" exhibition and is held by the Sackner Archive. Paul Laffoley contributed an insightful autobiographical essay in which he writes about his current project on the Pantheon. He also made collages expressly for illustrating this catalogue. Each of the paintings reproduced in the catalogue has an in depth comment by the Loffoley. The exhibition was curated by Elizabeth Ferrer, Director of the Austin Museum of Art. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
