DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to 
 focus exclusively on depicting Christian subjects.\n\nIn accordance with t
 he museum’s exhibition and theme\, the college’s Chapel and Gathering 
 services\, led by Campus Ministries\, have been studying the book of Matth
 ew with occasional usage of images from Dix’s collection.\n\nAlso starti
 ng in January is the debut of the new monthly community event series\, KAM
 : After Hours. On the last Thursday of the month the museum will remain op
 en until 8 p.m. to provide community members the opportunity to explore th
 e galleries and engage every month in a new activity.\n\nThe After Hours s
 eries will take place on Jan. 26\, Feb. 23\, March 30 and April 27 from 6 
 p.m. to 8p.m. The event is free and all age groups are welcome.\n\nThe Kru

 public galleries as well as a classroom and climate-controlled storage spa
 ce for the 2\,000-object permanent collection. It is named in honor of a l
 eadership gift from Dr. Richard and the late Margaret Kruizenga of Holland
 \, each of whom graduated from Hope in 1952.

  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea

 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to 
 focus exclusively on depicting Christian subjects.\n\nIn accordance with t
 he museum’s exhibition and theme\, the college’s Chapel and Gathering 
 services\, led by Campus Ministries\, have been studying the book of Matth
 ew with occasional usage of images from Dix’s collection.\n\nAlso starti

 : After Hours. On the last Thursday of the month the museum will remain op

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to 
 focus exclusively on depicting Christian subjects.\n\nIn accordance with t
 he museum’s exhibition and theme\, the college’s Chapel and Gathering 
 services\, led by Campus Ministries\, have been studying the book of Matth
 ew with occasional usage of images from Dix’s collection.\n\nAlso starti
 ng in January is the debut of the new monthly community event series\, KAM
 : After Hours. On the last Thursday of the month the museum will remain op
 en until 8 p.m. to provide community members the opportunity to explore th
 e galleries and engage every month in a new activity.\n\nThe After Hours s
 eries will take place on Jan. 26\, Feb. 23\, March 30 and April 27 from 6 
 p.m. to 8p.m. The event is free and all age groups are welcome.\n\nThe Kru

 .  Additional information about special programs or events related to the 
 exhibition will be available on the museum’s website hope.edu/kam or via

 public galleries as well as a classroom and climate-controlled storage spa

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to 
 focus exclusively on depicting Christian subjects.\n\nIn accordance with t
 he museum’s exhibition and theme\, the college’s Chapel and Gathering 
 services\, led by Campus Ministries\, have been studying the book of Matth
 ew with occasional usage of images from Dix’s collection.\n\nAlso starti
 ng in January is the debut of the new monthly community event series\, KAM
 : After Hours. On the last Thursday of the month the museum will remain op
 en until 8 p.m. to provide community members the opportunity to explore th
 e galleries and engage every month in a new activity.\n\nThe After Hours s
 eries will take place on Jan. 26\, Feb. 23\, March 30 and April 27 from 6 
 p.m. to 8p.m. The event is free and all age groups are welcome.\n\nThe Kru

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to 
 focus exclusively on depicting Christian subjects.\n\nIn accordance with t
 he museum’s exhibition and theme\, the college’s Chapel and Gathering 
 services\, led by Campus Ministries\, have been studying the book of Matth
 ew with occasional usage of images from Dix’s collection.\n\nAlso starti
 ng in January is the debut of the new monthly community event series\, KAM
 : After Hours. On the last Thursday of the month the museum will remain op
 en until 8 p.m. to provide community members the opportunity to explore th
 e galleries and engage every month in a new activity.\n\nThe After Hours s

DESCRIPTION:The exhibition will continue through Saturday\, May 20.  The pu
 blic is invited\, and admission is free.\n\nRepresented by 31 prints creat
 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to 
 focus exclusively on depicting Christian subjects.\n\nIn accordance with t
 he museum’s exhibition and theme\, the college’s Chapel and Gathering 
 services\, led by Campus Ministries\, have been studying the book of Matth
 ew with occasional usage of images from Dix’s collection.\n\nAlso starti
 ng in January is the debut of the new monthly community event series\, KAM
 : After Hours. On the last Thursday of the month the museum will remain op
 en until 8 p.m. to provide community members the opportunity to explore th
 e galleries and engage every month in a new activity.\n\nThe After Hours s
 eries will take place on Jan. 26\, Feb. 23\, March 30 and April 27 from 6 
 p.m. to 8p.m. The event is free and all age groups are welcome.\n\nThe Kru
 izenga Art Museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m
 .  Additional information about special programs or events related to the 
 exhibition will be available on the museum’s website hope.edu/kam or via
  social media.\n\nThe museum functions as an educational resource for Hope
  College and the greater West Michigan community. The museum features two 
 public galleries as well as a classroom and climate-controlled storage spa
 ce for the 2\,000-object permanent collection. It is named in honor of a l
 eadership gift from Dr. Richard and the late Margaret Kruizenga of Holland
 \, each of whom graduated from Hope in 1952.

 ed in 1960 to illustrate the Gospel of Matthew\, Dix brings out the contem
 porary relevance of the Gospel stories by including references to modern d
 ress\, hairstyles and architecture. By contrast\, the 16 Watanabe prints i
 n the exhibition\, dating from the 1960s and 1970s\, portray stories from 
 all the Gospels in a cheerful\, folksy style reflecting the joyful faith t
 hat sustained the artist through his many years of struggle.\n\nOtto Dix w
 as a German artist associated with the Expressionist and New Objectivity m
 ovements. At 18\, he trained enrolled in the Dresden Academy of Applied Ar
 ts but was forced to leave to join the German army at the outbreak of Worl
 d War I\, surviving four years as a combat soldier on both the Western and
  Eastern fronts. Badly traumatized by his war experiences\, he resumed his
  artist career in Dresden in 1918. Dix believed that art should be rooted 
 in reality and should promote social and political engagement. His satiric
 al\, critical art was despised by the Nazis\, who removed him from his tea
 ching position at the Dresden Academy after they came to power. After Worl
 d War II\, Dix continued to work as an artist\, drawing inspiration from h
 is newfound Christian faith with profound themes of sacrifice and redempti
 on.\n\nSadao Watanabe is recognized around the world as one of Japan’s m
 ost important and original prints artists. During his difficult childhood 
 Watanabe turned to the Christian faith\, attributing his ultimate recovery
  from tuberculous to the power of God. He originally trained as a textile 
 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
 ngthened his faith and his belief in the power of art to touch people’s 
 souls. After the war and as Watanabe’s reputation grew\, he was able to 
 focus exclusively on depicting Christian subjects.\n\nIn accordance with t
 he museum’s exhibition and theme\, the college’s Chapel and Gathering 
 services\, led by Campus Ministries\, have been studying the book of Matth
 ew with occasional usage of images from Dix’s collection.\n\nAlso starti
 ng in January is the debut of the new monthly community event series\, KAM
 : After Hours. On the last Thursday of the month the museum will remain op
 en until 8 p.m. to provide community members the opportunity to explore th
 e galleries and engage every month in a new activity.\n\nThe After Hours s
 eries will take place on Jan. 26\, Feb. 23\, March 30 and April 27 from 6

 dyer but ultimately learned traditional techniques of katazome stencil dec
 oration\, which he used not only for designing textiles but also for print
 making. The war years were difficult for Watanabe\, who was forced to leav
 e Tokyo after his home was bombed\, but the hardships of the war only stre
