Image and Word: Jean Charlot and the Way of the Cross exhibition

Image and Word: Jean Charlot and the Way of the Cross exhibition

Jean Charlot's lifelong commitment to liturgical art is explored in his numerous representations of the Stations of the Cross, showing his stylistic progression from 1918 through 1971. Drawing primarily on the resources of UH-Manoa Library's Jean Charlot Collection, the exhibit embodies aspects of Charlot's life as an artist, as an art historian, and as a devout Roman Catholic for whom observance of the cycles of the liturgical calendar was part of daily practice. It includes photographs and documentation of five mural series from churches on Kauai and Oahu.

The exhibit will be on display in Bridge Gallery in Hamilton Library on the UH-Manoa through June 15 and is open during all Library hours (Sunday noon until Friday 7:00pm and Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., excluding holidays).
