Episode 1: Church in Cottonwood Accordion Closed
We visit a church in Arizona and discover Gino Parin through his painting, Cristo (ca. 1942), now housed in the sacristy of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Cottonwood. Born Federico Guglielmo Jehuda Pollack in Trieste in 1876, Parin was a close friend of the Springer family, some of whom moved to the United States, bringing with them a collection of the artist’s work.
