Join us Wednesday, Jan. 17, at 12:30 p.m. at the Webber Center for the opening reception of the “Christ in the Darkness: Georges Rouault as Graphic Artist,” Exhibition. The works on display are from The Bob and Sandra Bowden Collection of Chatham, Massachusetts, a substantial collection built over many years and many trips to Europe. Sandra Bowden will visit the Webber Center and Gallery and participate in a question-and-answer forum with Professor Tyrus Clutter about the content and style of Rouault’s work.

On view during the religious season of Lent, this exhibit allows viewers to consider and contemplate the twin sufferings of humanity and Jesus. Rouault’s work is often darker and complex, unlike the typical imagery one might connect with Christianity, making the exhibit perfect for this reflective season within the church calendar.

This event and exhibition are free and open to the public. This exhibition will be open to the public at the College of Central Florida Webber Gallery Jan. 8-March 17.

Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is closed Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and college observed holidays. For more information call 352-854-2322, ext. 1552.
