UCI museum explores faith and California landscape art
|
|
|
The role of God in paintings of nature is the subject of a new exhibition – “Spiritual Geographies: Religion and Landscape Art in California, 1890-1930” – at UCI’s Jack and Shanaz Langson Institute and Museum of California Art. Opening Saturday and continuing through June 8, the show explores how Sierra Club co-founder John Muir, Protestant ministers, theosophists and various painters used landscape images to transmit theological ideas. Although the works contain no overt sacred symbols, curator Michaela Mohrmann (above) says religion provided a crucial motivation for many painters, including legendary plein air master William Wendt, whose title for 1938’s “Gentle Evening Bendeth” (below) was inspired by an 1800s hymn.
