Twentieth-Century British Art from the Ahmanson Collection will engage the Biola University 2011-2012 Theme of “Sanctuary & Sacred Space” by exploring the role of Christianity in visual art throughout the twentieth-century in Great Britain. A major goal of the exhibition is to focus on deepening an understanding of the vital role the visual arts and beauty played in shaping human experience and awareness of the sacred in this landmark century. This exhibition will include major paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture by some of the most important and beloved twentieth-century British artists, including Stanley Spencer, Eric Gill, Jacob Epstein, Barbara Hepworth, Edward Burra, and Graham Sutherland.
