Communicating Belief







I’m excited about a new exhibit will open in October at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. This exhibit, Sacred Spain: Art and Belief in the Spanish World promises to be one of the great exhibitions to be held at this museum. As a member, I will be one of the first to view this show.

This show will include major works by well-known Spanish artists such as El Greco, Diego Velazquez, Francisco de Zurbarian, and Mexican artists such as Juan Correa and Cristobal de Villalpando. The exhibit will contain painting and sculptures. The show consists of 71 works—some of which have never been seen in public.

I think this groundbreaking exhibit will be a opportunity for me and other viewers to think about the artistic challenge of communicating belief. I believe it will be interesting to examine these works of art and attempt to understand the making and meaning of religious images.

Discover the Art of Reading at Nella’s Books and Collectibles. You will find a great selection of art books, art catalogs and magazine back issues.

  1. I'm glad you're as excited as we are about "Sacred Spain" opening at the IMA! And it sounds like you already know about the special members preview day on Oct 10. You can also preview the exhibition online here: www.imamuseum.org/sacred-spain. Enjoy! -Noelle
