| "The Story of Jonah" by Fritz Eichenberg |
WASHINGTON - A selection of Fritz Eichenberg's work is on display in the Arcade Gallery at the Jundt Art Museum at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., through July 30. The exhibit showcases 25 images from the museum's collection of 750 prints and other works donated by longtime benefactors Norman and Esther Bolker, who now reside in Corvalis, Ore. The display includes "Ten Wood Engravings for the Old Testament" and include pieces such as the well-known "The Peaceable Kingdom," "And David Played the Harp" and "The Story of Jonah." Father James Daprile said Eichenberg's images can be just as meaningful today in a complex world fraught with violence. "Many people called his work illustration. He preferred to say his work was illumination, bringing information to light. He felt every cut in the wood was an act of Genesis, bringing light to the world," he said. [
