Hebrew College is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Joshua Meyer in its Goldman Gallery. The Gallery is located just outside Boston at the College's Newton Centre, Mass., campus and is easily accessible by car or MBTA Green Line subway (please visit hebrewcollege.edu/directions). The exhibit will be on display June 6–October 15, Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., Friday 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. For weekend or evening hours, please call 617-559-8600.

"Commanding visions," emerge from the midst of Meyer's thickly layered paint, according to Hebrew College professor Steven Copeland. "This young master-artist . . . engages fateful questions concerning the character of art and of Judaism, their possibilities, challenges and problems." While Meyer's paintings have been widely shown, this exhibit explores artistic creation and revelation as a parallel to biblical, divine creation. The 40 paintings on view at Hebrew College, concludes Copeland, "can seize and change us."

Cambridge artist Joshua Meyer has displayed his luminous works throughout the northeast and, most recently, at the San Diego Art Institute and the 38 Cameron Gallery in Cambridge, Mass. A graduate of Yale University and the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, he has been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including a Bronfman Youth Fellowship in Israel (1991), a Bronfman Yotzma Fellowship (1995) and Trumbull Fine Arts Award (1996). A member of the Berkshire Institute for Music and Arts steering committee and board of directors, Meyer was visiting artist and instructor, with Dr. Steven Copeland, for Art and the Jewish Experience at Hebrew College during the fall 2004 semester.
