Martin Scorsese on Growing Up With Religious Art in His Life

Martin Scorsese: The strongest impression I ever received was going into a church. I was around 7 years old when I went into my first Church and it was the old Calthlic cathedral in New York called ‘Saint Patrick's Cathedral.’ Not the new one uptown, the old one that was built around 1802. And it was extraordinary and the religious art in it, i thought was extraordinary. Even though it was platard statues. It wasn’t the religious art that you would see by Caravaggio, Da vinci or by Michelangelo but that led me to go to the museum of modern art. Or the metropolitan museum of modern art. Go up there and look at that with all my friends. Religious art just became a way of life. Just everybody had it. Some form of religious art in their house in the lower east side. Some form or another. Even on calenders. You know.
