This exhibition examines for the first time from an interdisciplinary perspective La Farge s lifelong efforts to visualize the sacred. Most outstandingly shown in his stained glass and ecclesiastical paintings, the exhibition demonstrates how this quest is manifest equally in the artist s representations of nature and still life and in his stunningly imaginative book illustrations.
