unction
(redirected from fulsomeness)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia 0.06 sec.

unction

In religion, anointing, either in a physical or a metaphorical sense of being appointed for a purpose. In the Hebrew Bible there are references to kings and priests being anointed as a sign of their position. In Christianity, unction (which may be the substance used or the act of anointing) is given in certain rites, including baptism in some churches, but especially for healing or for the dying.

Perhaps the international art critic who proclaims the diaristic, confessional virtues of Lucien Freud and Francis Bacon should be able to recognize those same qualities in Salle's work - although, to be honest, Salle's confessional mode is way too French, too nasty and acidic (a la Bataille) and totally lacking in the bogus, John Bull fulsomeness of Freud's and Bacon's angst.
