ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Ernest O. Britton
MISSOURI --- Last week, the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art opened its summer exhibition, "A Tribute to Frederick J. Brown". Brown who passed last month on May 5th, played an important role in launch of this museum. In 1992 Frederick Brown offered to execute a large, multi-paneled altarpiece based on the life of Christ for the soon-to-open museum. Featured in this exhibition is the resulting Life of Christ Altarpiece, dedicated to artist Max Beckmann and premiered at MOCRA in 1995.
Museum of Contemporary Religious Art: "A Tribute to Frederick J. Brown," (Ends August 26), 3700 West Pine Mall Blvd. (a pedestrian mall) on the campus of Saint Louis University, (314) 977-7170 or slu.edu/mocra
