The dawn of the 20th century accompanied religious, philosophical, and artistic transition across Germany. Nietzsche's famous assertion that God was dead hung heavily in the air. Nevertheless, German Expressionist art of the era is saturated with biblical subjects and religious themes.
In Reconciliation: biblical imagination in German Expressionist Prints, you'll explore how artists including Vassily Kandinsky, Edvard Munch, and Käthe Kollwitz found meaning in and bared their souls through biblical themes and narratives through their own artistic zeitgeist as they endured the tumult, upheaval, and conflict of the age.
Reconciliation is on loan from Bowden Collections which offers nearly 20 traveling exhibitions relating to the Bible and faith available to museums, universities, seminaries and churches.
