Divine Mirrors: The Virgin Mary in the Visual Arts
Oxford and New York Oxford University Press; Davis Museum and Cultural Center 2001 0195145585 / 9780195145588 First Edition Soft Cover Fine Exhibition Catalogue
xxi, 297 pp., illus. (some col.), biblio., index; 29 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass. AS NEW. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. "Through a unique and stunning collection of paintings, sculpture, rare books, and works on paper, Divine Mirrors examines the complex relationship between sacred imagery and secular identity in the art of the Madonna. This magnificent work--born from a multi-year project that included a museum exhibition, scholarly symposium, and reinstallation of a segment of the permanent collection of the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College--features the work of such renowned artists as Il Pintoricchio, Mantegna, Munch, and Leger, alongside fresh, undiscovered masters and little-known works of art. The book's fifty catalogue entries range from a rare thirteenth-century panel painting to a specially commissioned artwork exploring the intersection of religion and modern life. This volume investigates everything from non-Western perceptions of European religious practices to the Virgin Mary's voice in musical composition. / Melissa R. Katz is Curator of European Art at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College. Robert A. Orsi is Professor of Religion at Indiana University and author of The Madonna of 115th Street and Gods and the City." - Publisher.
