Rites of PassageArt and Religion in Romanian Life July 30–October 09, 2004 |
The exhibition presents rare icons and liturgical art, as well as objects connected to the festivals, customs, and everyday life of Romanians from the late 18th through the early 21st century. The works on view illustrate the individuality of Romanian folk art within the family of Eastern Orthodox art and artifacts, providing evidence of the close interaction between the religious and the secular in the life of the Romanian peasant class. |
