Illuminated Reflections: A Bill Aron and Victor Raphael Collaboration January 4, 2011

Reflecting upon their individual artistic achievements spanning more than four decades, Los Angeles–based artists Bill Aron and Victor Raphael have united to create a unique series of gold and metal–leafed photographs. Raphael applies the leaf to selected areas of Aron’s photographs of Jewish and diverse cultures around the world. This process transforms the images of people, shadows, walls, and windows into works of art infused with light, energy, and new life. Drawing from the tradition of illuminated manuscripts as well as contemporary digital art, the works in Illuminated Reflections introduce a novel hybrid art form.

Open during regular Museum hours: Tuesday-Friday: 12:00-5:00 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; Closed on Mondays
