The Pope

The image shows a page from a book about etiquette, specifically discussing an audience with the Pope. The text is overlaid with vertical stripes of blue and yellow paint, creating a striped pattern across the entire page. Some words at the bottom are circled in pencil. The overall effect is that of a found poem or altered book art piece, combining the original text with abstract painterly elements.

The Pope

The Pope
Obviously
granted
the three
Requests
for
Master of the Chamber
and
the
“special”
people
and
the
one visitor
that
may kiss his ring. He
is
more
strict
as
they
once were.
