Bread Upon the Waters: Pursuing the Art of Generosity and Talmud in the Art of Ben-Zion and Marc Chagall: Two Significant Twentieth Century Portfolios on Biblical Themes
Session Description
Two posters, one for each exhibit.
In an age, where acts of unselfish love, service, and generosity are critically in short supply, the Christian artist should consider the unique singularity of works created from the abundant overflow of a pure and thankful heart; a heart embracing the viewer with a spirit of grace and compassion. In this way, we are able to identify with the heart of Christ as he wept, bled, and died for countless confused and helpless ones yet sitting alone in the vast and pervasive darkness. May our art generously reflect, in all of its' possible manifestations, the profound difference Christ has wrought in each of us whose names are written in blood in the Lamb's Book of Life.
The title Talmud is appropriate for this show that brings together the Biblical work of two of the most important Jewish artists of the 20th Century. Even though Talmud deals traditionally with text and not image, these images are commentaries on the text of Scripture in the best of the Talmudic tradition.
