Images of the Nativity Story
Around
the holidays, an abundance of images around us promote shopping hours and
doorbusters. Jeff Mishur’s program is designed to emphasize images that are
central to the meaning of the season. Imagery that deals with the nativity will
be shown, discussed, and compared with one another to reveal the multiple
layers of meanings that can be conveyed even within the same subject matter.
Various artists from different cultures and time periods will be included to
provide a broad look at an important tradition in Art History. Some of the
artists whose work will be discussed include Botticelli, Van Eyck, Tanner,
Martini, Fabriano, Campin, and van der Goes. Registration is $10 member; $12
non-member.
