Art lovers and fans of the legendary jazz artist John Coltrane will have their last chance to see “God Breathes,” a series of paintings depicting the works and life of Coltrane, this week before the exhibit leaves Vanderbilt University and Nashville on Friday, May 11.
The exhibit is on display at Vanderbilt’s Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center now through May 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Prints of the original art are available for purchase.
Artist Rhonda (Rhen) Henry, a native of High Point, N.C., completed the collection of more than 20 pieces through a grant from the High Point Arts Council.
An avid music fan, Henry remembers the day she first heard Coltrane’s Love Supreme album. “It was like all of John’s spirituality and verve were speaking directly to my soul, and when he played his music, I saw images, shapes, colors. It was one of the most singularly profound moments of my life,” she said.
The exhibit is sponsored by Vanderbilt’s Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center, Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center and the Organization of Black Graduate and Professional Students. For more information, call 615-322-2524 or visit www.vanderbilt.edu/bcc.
