In tandem with Roberto Márquez’s show, ‘Commedia’ in The Yang University Art Gallery, is the ‘Divine Journey’ in the Bare-Montgomery Gallery. Here you will discover framed woodcut prints on letterpress paper from the 1400s accompanied by an interactive prompt to create and display your own contemporary illustrations inspired by Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy.’ This is a great opportunity to travel through Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise) and see how past and present visuals converge to narrate this epic poem.
