Kronos, a Titan of the ancient Greek world, lingered in Jack Whitten’s development as a painter. In the slow passage of time, he found beauty. He described summers in Crete with guests, who visited Knossos. His painting and sculpture relates to the temporal and intersectional Mediterranean aesthetics of an interlinked Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Whitten’s carved wooden Odysseus at times is nearer to Nkisi: Benin nailed spiritual objects and Congolese power figures.
