Zoolatry

“Zoolatry” is defined as worship of or excessive attention to animals, and they have been a favorite subject of artists. Works from the collection illustrated the uses of animals, ranging from primary subjects to unwitting symbols. Zoolatry was expanded for the M&T Center, Buffalo, New York for presentation May 17, 1999 – May 10, 2001. A smaller version, reworked as Animals in Art, was presented at the Joy Gallery, New Mt. Ararat Temple of Prayer in Buffalo from May 21-November 30, 2001.
