Faith: The Impact of Judeo-Christian Religion on Art at the Millennium
Faith is neither a religious, nor a secular exhibition. It is built firmly on two presumptions, as are the great religions: that we are, as flesh and blood mortals, transient beings; and that there is a higher order of plan towards which we aspire. For thousands of years art and religion have mutually claimed these truths are their own, often in service of each other. Over the last thirty to forty years, however, most museums and curators have sustained the notion that art and religion are twain, but what remains constant is the human need to ask “why?”
