VISIONS
of the
APOCALYPSE

Albrecht Dürer
German 1471-1528

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, woodcut, 1496-98 (photo: Phil)

Apocalypse--from the Greek word apokalypsis, meaning revelation or lifting of a veil--was a fitting subject for the eve of the year 2000. The richly complex imagery of the Book of Revelation is well suited to artistic interpretation, explored in this exhibition in works ranging from Albrecht Dürer's famous woodcuts to images by diverse artists including William Blake, Odilon Redon, and Jim Dine.

Tuesday 26 October - Sunday 12 December 1999

This portfolio of eleven original prints (each eleven by eleven inches) was produced in honor of DAC Curator Emerita Ellen G. D'Oench, known to her friends as "Puffin."

The portfolio includes an essay written by Andrew Szegedy-Maszak.
