Art History Lecture Series:  Contemporary Jewish History Museum Docent presents Beyond Belief - 100 Years of The Spirtual in Modern Art

Beyond Belief is an expansive exhibition exploring the spirtual dimensions of modern art, especially as seen through the lens of Jewish theological concepts.  The exhibition features 48 internationally-known artists whose work-painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation art- are all drawn from SFMOMA's outstanding collection.  Ranging from a 1914 abstraction by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian to a luminous 1960 abstraction by Mark Rothko and oversized prayer beads by comtemporary artist Zarina, Beyond Belief provides an engaging alternative that prioritizes spirtuality in the reading of art.
