One of the great benefits of each new exhibition at the Chrysler Museum is an influx of new resources for the Library. As you may have noticed from recent posts to this blog, Art of Glass II has certainly been no exception with fresh books, DVDs and other informative sources about glass coming in almost daily. The Library’s collection has grown considerably in the areas of contemporary glass, the science and processes behind glassmaking, and monographs about individual glass artists. This week’s item highlights a new and much needed look at one aspect of glass in our area. Sacred Light: Stained Glass Windows of Southeastern Virginia by art historian Nenette Arroyo and photographer Bill Tiernan focuses on stained glass windows in houses of worship throughout the region. Published by the Virginia Arts Festival, this informative volume guides readers on a tour of the stunning stained glass in churches and synagogues around Hampton Roads. Well researched and beautifully photographed, Sacred Light is sure to encourage and enable readers now and for year to come to visit these inspiring works of art and to appreciate them as true treasures that are shared by our community.
