Add Review/Comment

Among the treasures from The Nancy G. Brinker Collection included in An Exhibition of Passion, Interludes and Progress are a number of important paintings, drawings and photographs made by Hungary's premier artists between the dawn of the 20th century and World War II. Ambassador Brinker's commitment to the arts of Hungary is matched only by her staunch advocacy for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment as founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and advocates fighting to end breast cancer forever.

    Beautiful photography in black and white and in color. I especially love the bird series, the trees and the meadow series that she created.

    I merely went to see the old scrolls and fragments, but I got so much more. The St. John's Bible blew me away. No photo does it justice. Stunning. Beautiful in its own right, it surprised me in an art form we see so little. What a great find! Don't miss it. The old manuscripts convey the depth and history of many cultures that have carried art and scripture next to our ancestors' bosoms so that they could pass down these torches of civilization to us. I was in awe; when it was time to go, I couldn't. I turned around and went through the exhibit again. Don't miss the Syriac Peshitta and Coptic manuscripts nor the steps involved in getting European versions to the printing press. Beyond the thrill of the artwork and the profundity of this exhibition's message, I walked away, eventually, with a sense of the piety from a couple millennia. Many thanks to Phoenix Art Museum and the collectors who lent us this view extending from ancient Mesopotamia to the dazzle of post-modern illumination. Collapse
