A parodic treatment of the Christian Nativity myth. Pencil on grey toned paper. The circus symbolism references Roman cosmic symbolism. For the romans, the circulus - from which the modern word circus is derived - was a temple, and thus linked to the sphere of the gods. This was because in terms of its physical organization, or design, the circus was a kind of diagram of celestial space and described the orbits of the planets. It is threfore a symbol of cosmic dynamics and meanings. It was Apollinaire who was the first critic to discern an analogy between this symbolism and Picasso's circus/harlequin paintings in the early years of the 20th century. This drawing, and the other works in this series, attempt to conflate this cultural/cosmic motif with the Christmas story.
