Aide-mémoires in Power, Part VI: Devotion

---

I start by asking: What is the most beautiful representation of love in painting.

I get excellent submissions.

I submit Dürer’s Messianic self-portrait: love as the artist in its glory, on every scale. The work of god.

Love as transfiguration, in the religious sense.

Replace transvaluation of all values for transfiguration of all values—the radiant transformation of appearance.

That would be revolutionary.

We never leave the theatre.
