The Timken's superb collection of icons is an oasis of Russian Orthodox spiritual thought and art in the midst of the Timken's broadly European and American collection. For a museum visitor the presence of the icons literally suggests a dialogue between the different eastern and western Christian approaches to art. This virtual talk will review some major historical information on the role of icons in eastern Christianity in comparison with some of the differences in the approach to art by western Christians.

Florence Gillman, PhD, STD, has been a docent at the Timken since 2022. She is an emeritus faculty member of USD's Department of Theology and Religious Studies. She currently is an adjunct faculty member at the Franciscan School of Theology.
