Meanwhile, back in the Methodist art exhibition at Wallspace, I forgot to mention the most curious detail of the show, in Pink Crucifixion, a print by Craigie Aitchison (above). Looking at the lonely scene, I was told it once included a dog standing at the foot of the cross. However, the dog lacked an eye, and when the print went to press, the printmaker added one; which didn’t go down well with the artist, who ordered the dog out of the scene altogether. Fido can still be seen by the faithful, though, in ghostly outline (below). Reminds me of Schrödinger’s Cat.
