"Charis-Kairos" (Tears of Christ) by Makoto Fujimura

NEW YORK - As part of The Museum of Biblical Art's July 2010 series, On Eagles' Wings, a series of contemporary paintings by NYC artist Makoto Fujimura is being featured. The works were commissioned by Crossway Publishers for the design and illustration of an English Standard Version of the Bible in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. Fujimura created five large works and a series of small paintings for each of the four Gospels' chapters. The frontispiece, entitled Charis-Kairos (The Tears of Christ), sets the tenor for the artist's spiritual exercise.
