Relationship of this printing to Thomas Merton: Dame Marcella van Bruyn (a Benedictine nun of Stanbrook Abbey in England) first contacted Merton through the encouragement of Jacques Maritain. Stanbrook Press published poems of Raïssa Maritain as well as some of Merton's works, including his translations of a prayer of Cassiodorus and a letter by Guigo the Carthusian. Merton provided this text to Stanbrook Abbey Press and cited it was "From a fourteenth century manuscript". Sr. Margaret Truran of Stanbrook notes, "The text is hand-set by the Stanbrook Abbey Press in Jan van Krimpen’s font 'Romulus Cancelleresca Bastarda', a trademark of the Press. The calligraphic capitals H and E are done by Margaret Adams." Related Information: See published letters from Merton to van Bruyn in The School of Charity, pp. 160-161, 182-183, 190-191, 205-206, 249-250, 270-271, 284-285, 298-300, 302, and 311-312.

Title Original Drawing / Symetrical Male Figure
Notes Original drawing by the artist; seems to demonstrate the influence Merton had on Reinhardt, with the 2 crosses depicted in this drawing. This item is similar to a piece sold at the Woodward Gallery in New York City, from an exhibition of Reinhardt's drawings held on November 8 - December 27, 2008. This piece was brought to, and examined by, John Woodward (Gallery Director) on June 11, 2013. At that time, and with limited provenance accompanying the item, it was confirmed to most likely be an authentic drawing by Reinhardt - paper, size, style, signature and subject all conform with know articles, and especially those sold during the exhibition at the Woodward Gallery. 2008 exhibition documents and titles of all pieces displayed at that exhibition accompany this item, including images of the similar item to this one from that exhibition.

Title Black on Black - silkscreen (or lithograph?) colour prints #9 & #10
Notes This item contains two original black on black silkscreen (or lithograph?) prints (#9 & #10 - both stamped and numbered) from an edition of 250 - both protected in original numbered folders with rice-paper protection slips. Merton and Reinhardt were friends in Columbia and continued to be so after Merton became a monk. In 1957 Merton requested and received an original black on black painting from Reinhardt to aid in his prayer life. In a journal entry of November 17, Merton described the painting, “Almost invisible cross on a black background. As though immersed in darkness and trying to emerge from it . . . You have to look hard to see the cross. One must turn away from everything else and concentrate on the picture as though peering through a window into the night . . . I should say a very ‘holy’ picture—helps prayer—an ‘image’ without features to accustom the mind at once to the night of prayer—and to help one set aside trivial and useless images that wander into prayer and spoil it.” - from Cunningham, Lawrence S. (editor) A Search for Solitude: The Journals of Thomas Merton, vol. 3. HarperSanfrancisco, 1996.

Notes Newsprint broadside. Pax was a "magazine" of poetry and art in which the work was the free contribution of the artists themselves "as their way of working toward an appreciation of the ideal of an enduring peace: the work of justice, the fruit of love". Pax was edited and published by Robert Lax (close friend to Merton) from the offices of Jubilee magazine starting in the mid-1950’s to the early 1960’s and was revived for a few minor issues in the 1980’s. This item is part of a portfolio in this collection of Pax items that contains the following:
