[GBW] exhibit at Walters Art Museum in Baltimore
Walters Art Museum¹s upcoming exhibition The Saint John¹s Bible: A Modern
Vision through Medieval Methods on view Feb. 15 through March 24, 2009.
The Saint John¹s Bible is a contemporary manuscript of the Bible
commissioned by Saint John¹s University in Minnesota. Written in English and
fully illuminated, this large-scale book, approximately 3 feet wide by 2
feet tall when open, is being created in Wales under the direction of master
calligrapher Donald Jackson. Even though the Saint John¹s Bible is yet to be
finished, it has already been widely recognized as a major monument of
contemporary calligraphy and book arts, particularly for its use of new and
innovative imagery within an ancient tradition. This exhibition will feature
44 pages from two volumes of the manuscript, the Books of Wisdom and the
Books of Prophets, set alongside approximately 49 renowned manuscripts and
rare books from the Walters¹ permanent collection depicting a variety of
religious traditions.
