Aureola enveloping the whole body, generally appears oval or elliptical in form, but occasionally depicted as circular, vesica piscis, or quatrefoil. When it appears merely as a luminous disk round the head, it is called specifically a "halo" or "nimbus", while the combination of nimbus and aureole is called a "glory". The strict distinction between nimbus and aureole is not commonly maintained, and the latter term is most frequently used to denote the radiance round the heads of saints, angels or Persons of the Trinity. This is not to be confused with the specific "motif" in art of the Infant Jesus
Society for Sanity in Art Society for Sanity in Art The Society for Sanity in Art was an American artist's society whose members strongly opposed all forms of modern art, including cubism, surrealism, and abstract expressionism. In 1939, a western branch of this Society changed its name to the Society of Western Artists. It was founded in Chicago in 1936 by Josephine Hancock Logan, and from there it spread all over the country, with major branches in Boston and San Francisco. Ms. Logan also published a book entitled "Sanity in Art" in 1937. Branches of the group established themselves all around the United States. Haig
