Bust of a Youth (Saint John the Baptist?), Francesco Mochi, 1625, Art Institute of Chicago: European Painting and Sculpture

One of the most individual sculptors of his age, Francesco Mochi possessed an astoun- ding technical prowess. Although his output was relatively small, Mochi was one of the most original artists to emerge in seventeenth-century Italy. His art is distinguished by energetic lines, dramatic movement, and subtle psychology. Here a taut precision characterizes the youth’s garment, and a carefully composed rhythm governs Mochi’s virtuoso treatment of the corkscrew curls. In contrast to the greater precision of the hair and drapery, the wistful expression of the youth, with his slightly parted lips, endows the sculpture with life. This work may have been conceived as a portrait, but it is more likely a biblical or mythological subject. The almost transcendent expression suggests that the sculpture may represent a religious figure, such as the youthful Saint John the Baptist. Its small scale suggests that the work was intended as an object for private contemplation. From the collection of the estate of Federico Gentili di Giuseppe; restricted gift of Mrs. Harold T. Martin through the Antiquarian Society; Major Acquisitions Centennial Endowment; through prior gift of Arthur Rubloff; European Decorative Arts Purchase Fund Size: 40.5 × 33 × 29 cm (15 7/8 × 13 × 11 3/8 in.)

Of all the crazy things that happened to me during one critical spring semester at Stony Brook, here’s the one single day that stood above them all. Even though the “apple girl” turned me down at the ice cream place, I offered her then to join me to the Brooklyn Museum since I remembered that she loved those kinds of things, and I had to write up a report for art class. “Yes” she said. A few days later I would board the afternoon train to New York City with my new iPod Classic (30GB) in hand filled with Boards Of Canada, Whitehouse, and Roy Ayers. I arrive at Penn Station finding her wearing her long-sleeve Felix The Cat shirt, a black long-sleeve zip-up, ripped jeans, purse and conductor hat. We met the 2 / 3 train that greeted us with those unforgettable screetching take-offs which are forever burnt in my mind. We take it and arrive a few blocks short of the museum during passing clouds, blue skies, sunshine, and light breezes on a beautiful April day.

I try to keep up with her quick feet before finally arriving at the museum where Joan Miro’s Women, Birds, And A Star (1949) awaited, jotting lightning quick notes as she eyed a Rothko across from Miro’s. We stayed at the museum until close and reversed the process back to Penn Station. We learned there was an hour wait for our Ronkonkoma line to arrive so we opt for tuna-fish sandwiches. As we sat on the floor of Penn Station eating our sandwiches, my phone rings. I pick up and it was Aziz, the Malaysian fashionista I met at work. It couldn’t come at a greater time while sitting right next to my apple-girl friend. She wanted to see how I was doing while trying like hell not breaking a sweat. I promised I’d call her back which she happily obliged. Clack went the phone. Apple and I’s Ronkonkoma train arrives and off we go.

During our one-hour ride, we would trade driver’s license pics and our personal plans for the future. Mine was to graduate from Stony Brook by year’s end and move to New York City, inviting her to join me and meet up any day she felt like. That was a deal. She, however, had no immediate plans for hers. We later arrived at the Brentwood platform. I said my goodbyes to her and agreed to stay in touch. It would be the last time for six years I would see her. Unbeknownst to me, she would make a fateful, horrible decision that would change her entire life.

I will never forget that one April day for as long as I fucking live, and what I would give right now to experience it, one more time.
