Great to see that the new translation of the Missal is now given it's recognitio by the Holy See. You can read more here. The US bishops’ conference has a great website, here. You can get ahead of the game and spend some time learning the new responses of the people, here.
The 'art' by the way is:
González's painting is a Spanish Caravaggesque work showing naturalism and a touch of sensuality. Without the barely noticeable halo and without the scroll the Saint could easily be taken for a resting shepherd with a sheep lying at his feet like a dog. The text on the scroll is a quotation from the Gospel of John: "Ecce Agnus Dei, qui tollit peccata mundi".
