The Israel Museum presents "Close Encounters": A Special Exhibit.
January 1, 2012-December 31, 2012
Location: Arnold Maremont Gallery of Precolumbian Art
Artist: Henry Moore and Precolumbian artists
Curator: Yvonne Fleitman
Media: Sculpture
Featuring two mother-and-child sculptures, this exhibition brings together the work of modern artist Henry Moore and Precolumbian art created two thousand years earlier. Moore's imposing, innovative sculptures and ancient West Mexican art both ascribe prominence to human figures - particularly those of mother and child. The sculptures' juxtaposition demonstrates their affinity and sheds light on the visual power and sensuality of the ancient art form, which served as a source of inspiration to the modern artist.
Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday 10:00 to 17:00; Tuesday 16:00 to 21:00; Friday 10:00 to 14:00
