Program Description

Event Details

From a solitary hand to multiple arms, from a nimbus of light surrounding a figure to blue skin, a pelican, a waterfall; all these have been used by artists to distinguish the divine. Religious institutions and texts often stipulated the ways in which God, gods and goddesses were to be shown. Laura Mueller of the Art Institute of Chicago will explore and compare examples from Eastern and Western traditions, both the ancient and the new.
