"Unpinning Paul Klee's Angelus Novus wings from the storm of Paradise becomes, for me, an allegory of unwrapping history — turning the gaze toward the future after an eternity spent contemplating the Past of Paradise. We can no longer unconsciously carry the artifacts of the past into our Present without adopting the perspective of this angel, pausing to see events not merely as a sequence but as catastrophes. Where catastrophe reigns, reflection ceases, replaced by reaction and impulsive flinching." — TBS
