“Bob Thompson’s work always resonates with a look backward—towards European Renaissance or Baroque painting—and a look forward to the brilliant colors and abstraction of modernism. The three nude figures on the right seem to include us in the scene, while the figure on the left seems to await his fate—determined by three female angels. What are we being judged for and by whom? Always the eternal questions." Posted by Catherine Futter, Senior Curator, Decorative ArtsBob Thompson (American, 1937-1966). The Judgement, 1963. Oil on canvas. Brooklyn Museum, A.
