This retrospective features three decades of painting and printmaking by celebrated Los Angeles artist Ruth Weisberg, dean of the Roski School of Fine Arts at the University of Southern California. In its first complete showing in twenty years, the ninety-four-foot-long masterwork, The Scroll, synthesizes universal life-cycle events with Weisberg's experiences as an American Jewish woman, all portrayed in conjunction with scriptural motifs, Jewish history, and rabbinic legend. In addition to The Scroll, more than thirty paintings, drawings, and prints from throughout Weisberg's career will be on view.
