Aged Ignorance (For Children, 1968)
- Title
- Aged Ignorance (For Children, 1968)
- Student Commentary:
- In this image from the For Children version of The Gates of Paradise (1968 facsimile), an elderly male figure sits at the base of a tree. He wears a long white robe and spectacles, but his eyes are closed. He holds a large pair of scissors, which he is using in an attempt to clip the wings of an angel standing in front of him. The angel’s hands are stretched out, either in sorrow or as protection from the harsh rays of the sun.
