Rose Datoc Dall's Expressions of Jesus

Center for Latter-day Saint Arts Season 8 Episode 13

In this engaging episode about Christian painting, artist Rose Datoc Dall, explores her artistic journey, the curation of the book Expressions of Jesus, and the importance of cultural representation in art about Jesus Christ. The new book of hundreds of images includes over 100 artists throughout history and from around the world. It raises important questions: How should a contemporary artist represent the Savior right now? Should the image reflect the artist's heritage, give a nod to the historical Jesus, or follow an existing cultural tradition? Rose Datoc Dall is a thought-leader in LDS culture regarding this powerful and complex topic.
