The David Wander: Drawings from Biblical
Texts and the Chagall exhibit will both close July 1.
Each of the stories illustrated in this exhibition contains at its core a
very human story. Each is a story of struggle, perseverance and
loneliness. The story of Jonah is one rich in possibilities of
exploring the demands of obedience to God and the attendant confusion
and isolation that ensue as one attempts to “do the right thing.”
Joseph’s story could easily find its way into a contemporary tabloid:
an abandoned and abused child overcomes numerous obstacles to become the
powerful leader of a foreign country.
Wander’s ability to re-animate, both visually and spiritually, ancient texts that carry so much historical and emotional baggage makes his work relevant to contemporary life and society. By revealing the Bible’s underlying themes of human struggle and transcendence, the artist invites the viewer to experience the Bible’s stories anew and to affirm their universal significance.
