Young Man - Senior Citizen, ink on paper, by Peter Paul Porges
The Art
of Aging, organized by Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute
of Religion Museum, offers viewers an opportunity to see how artists
interpret their own anxieties and joys about the aging process. Through
painting, sculpture, photography, installation, fiber, mixed media,
and video, contemporary artists explore diverse aspects of aging,
including creativity and vitality, memory, anxiety, wisdom, physical
change, loss, inter-generational interaction, responsibility, and
optimism.
“You shall
rise before the aged and show deference to the old.” Leviticus
19:32
