Picturing the Bible: The Earliest Christian Art
November 18-March 30, 2008
The Kimbell Art Museum announces Picturing the Bible: The Earliest Christian Art,
a landmark exhibition of the earliest works of art illustrating the Old
and New Testaments that will be on view from November 18, 2007, to
March 30, 2008. Developed and organized by the Kimbell (its exclusive
venue), and guest-curated by Dr. Jeffrey Spier of the University of
Arizona, this highly important exhibition draws upon recent research
and new discoveries to tell the story of how the earliest Christians
first gave visual expression to their religious beliefs.
