Entwined Across the Ages: Illuminated Manuscripts and Tapestries December 15, 2009

This holiday-season exhibition features the Stark Museum of Art's collection of medieval illuminated manuscripts exhibited within a setting of twentieth-century wall tapestries that were inspired by arts from the medieval period. Entwined across the Ages highlights the variety and richness of manuscript illustrations in the Books of Hours and includes images of the Christmas story. It also reveals how the medieval arts influenced artist Lorenz Kleiser whose Edgewater Tapestry Company revived the art of tapestry weaving in the modern era.
