If you don't have time to venture down to Stanford to see all the "saints" artwork there (see the June 8 blogpost for more details on the two exhibitions there), maybe this exhibit at The Contemporary Jewish Museum will be of interest. Including a wide range of media and representing some of the biggest names in twentieth-century art (Klee, Mondrian, and others), the exhibit references Biblical texts starting with Genesis and moving to more abstract representations of the divine. The exhibition also includes Christian art as well as art related to Asian spiritual traditions such as Buddhism.
The exhibition opens June 28 and runs through October 27. Visit the museum's website for more details, including hours and parking information.
