The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer (acrylic and collage)
" If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one. " Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavad Gita in reference to the Trinity test. " Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

I love that painting. I have always had a minor obsession with Oppenheimer. I have also always loved that quote "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." It really is beautiful in it's simplicity, truth, and terror.
