When Orgon confronts Tartuffe, Tartuffe reminds him that he has the rights to Orgon's property and promises to get his revenge. As it turns out, not only does Tartuffe have the rights to Orgon's property, he also has a number of documents that, if they were to come to the attention of the King, could get Orgon in serious trouble. Damis returns, ready to fight Tartuffe â literally â but he's interrupted by Madame Pernelle.

Baroque and boisterous are terms one typically encounters in the Onofrio lexiconâbut the audacious boldness and labor-intensive craft of her work can veil its rich metaphors and subtle meaning.onât be fooled. Her art, beyond first impressions, carries a depth and an incisive commentary on American life and culture. An individual work is a wonder to behold. A distinctive sculpture or installation grasped more fully within and against the career of artist Judy Onofrio, well, there one finds subtlety.
