The painting, titled A Hopeless Dawn, says it all about the Cards season. Every goddamn time I’ve written them off, I look at the standings and find they are still only six out in the lost column, whereupon they promptly drop the next couple of games.The painting hangs in The Tate Collection in London. According to their guide:
The kneeling woman, comforted by her mother-in-law, realises that her husband is lost at sea, but the open Bible, altar-like table and print on the wall hint at the consolations of religion.
Personally, I’d take a lot more consolation in a healthy Chris Carpenter and some production out of the five hole. But that’s just me.
