About the Exhibition
Christ asks his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Several artists, such as El Greco and Manet, have attempted to answer this question by portraying Christ as phenomena, such as light and color. We know who Christ is through the what. Ignatian spirituality emphasizes that we can find God in all things. This exhibition explores how other objects can reveal more deeply who Christ is.
