"If I Forget Thee o Jerusalem" now on view at the Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas

TEXAS---Discovering the Jewish roots her parents had long kept secret was a turning point in Barbara Hines' life - and in her art. More than 50 of the Houston artist's Judaism-inspired paintings and works on paper are now on display at the Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas. The show, titled "Mysteries, Signs and Wonders," opened as the inaugural exhibit in the museum's newest addition, the National Center for Jewish Art. The artwork, a combination of Jerusalem cityscapes, Israeli landscapes and abstract, color-driven paintings inspired by spiritual themes and stories from the Torah, will be on view through next August.[link]
