This painting is recent work by this Dominican Master. Balcacer’s paintings represent a mixture of great beauty, whimsy, romance, substance, magic, and power. Good works by Balcacer are becoming harder to find, as the demand for her work has risen dramatically over the past few years. MLA Gallery has an excellent selection of original works on canvas, and paper. Ada Balcacer was considered one of the five most significant artists in the history of the Dominican Republic.

 

Ada Balcácer, the Dominican painter and visual artist whose luminous work and decades of teaching shaped the course of national art, died this past Christmas Day in Miami at the age of 95. Born in San Juan de la Maguana, she graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in 1951 and went on to perfect her craft at the University of Río Piedras (Puerto Rico) and in New York, where she combined studies in design with ceramics and engraving.

A leading figure in the Nueva Imagen movement that emerged in 1972, Balcácer explored multiple aesthetic languages across painting, mural work, ceramics, and printmaking. Her pieces have been exhibited widely and are held in major public collections: the National Museum of Havana; the Inter-American Development Bank Gallery in Washington; the Palaces of Fine Arts in Mexico and Caracas; and the Museum of Modern Art of Santo Domingo, among others.

Among her most celebrated public works is the mural The Transparent Palm in the Dominican Tourist Information Center in New York. Her painting The Magician of the Landscape was selected by the United Nations to illustrate a postage stamp—an emblem of the international recognition her work achieved. Notable thematic cycles include Mythology and Legend (Taticas, Carnival, and Bacá, 1969–1972) and Geometry and Composition (Participating Spaces, 1972–1978).

Balcácer’s contributions were recognized throughout her career: first prize and gold medal at the E. León Jimenes awards (1967); Artist of the Year from the University Cultural Movement (1970); honors at the V American Biennial of Graphic Arts in Cali (1986); the Grand Prix of the Diplomatic World (Santo Domingo, 1987); and the Corripio Foundation Art Prize (2014), among others. Beyond accolades, she leaves an enduring legacy as a teacher and cultural activist whose sensitivity to light and color profoundly influenced generations of Dominican artists.

Rest in peace, beloved teacher of light—may your colors continue to illuminate our skies and our memory.

The triangle of pastoral ministry - Scripture - Prayer - Spiritual Direction is reckoned as sever lack in our pastoral lives. Peterson is a needed sage in the realm of modern evangelicalism.

A Personally Challengiing Read
Don’t expect Rosaria Butterfield to coddle sin. She acknowledges the Biblical truth that we are at war with it. It is evil. Lies are rampant with it. The Bible’s solution is to kill it, nailing it to the cross of Christ. If we don’t, it will do great and lasting harm. That is the background premise of this book. This book is for believers in Jesus Christ, especially those who identify as Evangelicals. Others may benefit by reading its pages, but I suspect that most of them will not be able to persevere through it because today’s culture is just not willing to sit through this much proclamation of Bible truth. They will react, not respond. Believers will be convicted, encouraged, and edified. Butterfield’s style is plain, but today’s culture requires her to address and to use terminology that may be challenging to many readers. It was for me. Add a level of abstraction for some challenging spiritual truths. Add the fact that she is an intellectual dealing with cultural and theological subjects. It is mostly college level reading, except for the story parts. Butterfield has credentials. A professor of English at Syracuse University, she was ten years in the Lesbian community with a mate. She was found by Christ, began to grow in Him, was discipled by faithful church women, met a wonderful man, was married to him--a Presbyterian pastor—became a mother, and began to minister to college students from a Christian perspective. She tells some of her story and the stories of others in the pages of the book. It is fascinating reading. The book is organized around the five lies that Butterfield has chosen to expose, with two to four chapters dealing with each. She acknowledges that there are others that could be exposed as well. The last one, about our culture's attitude toward modesty, was the most surprising to me. The book also has a Foreword by Kevin DeYoung, a Preface, and an Introduction. Don’t skip them. The Foreword is nothing short of a good sermon that should be shared in every church in America. In the Preface Butterfield spills the beans, revealing exactly where she stands on key topics and to whom she is addressing this volume. The Introduction is engaging and lengthy and pretty much summarizes the rest of the book. Along the way Butterfield deals with homosexuality, changing gender, male leadership in the home and in church, the bedrock importance of repentance, progressive sanctification, intersectionality, “gay Christianity” (Side A and Side B), feelings and truth, empathy and sympathy, submission of the wife, feminism, inerrancy, envy and biblical contentment, suffering, modesty and exhibitionism, and even worship. She quotes scripture, sometimes at length, and she gives copious Bible references. She also has footnotes, some of which are as interesting as the text. She names and uses or responds to contemporary authors on the topics at hand. She gives solid directions for those dealing with contemporary issues. She also has suggestions for dealing with family members beset by these matters including a question-and-answer section. Page 301. I recommend this book for all Christian leaders and for believers who want to understand contemporary challenges for the church from our modern culture.

Relevant and serious issues for today’s Christian
This is a no joke book. She takes Christianity seriously and gives her own life story and growth to encourage the reader. Very convicting read.

Rosaria is an intelligent human being.
Format: Hardcover
Rosaria writes as such. She walks through lies we are told by our culture here in America and beyond. How to look at sin rightly and touches on her own experiences throughout the book. She is raw and open. However, I do think some of her definitions are not really what we use for some of it. Got me a little confused. I used it to walk my bible study through these lies. There are a lot of questions, but you get out what you put in, so I think it was well worth the time and energy it took to read, reflect and respond to the text. It has biblical backing, and I was thankful for her honesty where she has made public statements before, and has since learned more and no longer thinks that way. It has to be hard, and has been hard. To live her experiences. Such a huge cost to following Jesus. May her ministry and book sales be blessed, as this book should be in church libraries around the world. To know how to gently and lovingly interact with those who are living differently than we.
