Location: Raclin Murphy Museum of Art (View on map )

Pencil sketch of a hand overlaid with a grid of a circle and intersecting lines, likely a study for a larger composition. The hand is outstretched, fingers pointing down, as if reaching or offering something. Three drips extend from the fingertips.
George Tooker (American, 1920–2011), 13th Station, Preparatory Drawing for “The Stations of the Cross,” 1984, Graphite on tracing paper, 15 x 14 3/4 in. Gift of the Artist, 1992.073.002

Join in this Lenten opportunity by using works of art to pray the Stations of the Cross. This guided devotion will use the Raclin Murphy Museum's collection of George Tooker's preparatory drawings for a Stations series he painted in 1984 for St. Francis of Assisi Church in Windsor, Vermont. These drawings will be dispersed throughout the galleries, allowing visitors to make a guided pilgrimage around the Museum. After an introduction by Fr. Kevin Grove, C.S.C., each station will be accompanied by a scriptural passage and a reflection by individuals from our campus community.

This event is co-sponsored by Campus Ministry.
