“The concept
of the emblem is central to art: An emblem that can represent faith
and fidelity, love as well as hate, fear as well as resolution,
understanding and ignorance, sophistication and vulgarity, waste
and value, friendship and alienation, male and female, negative and
positive. In other words, an endless string of opposites that can
tear the world apart or hold it together."
Excerpt from Norman Rosenthal's essay The Magic Arts of
Noble & Webster from the catalogue Wasted
Youth.
