William E. Jones project was inspired by a photograph of a wounded guerrilla fighter taken by Pedro Meyer in Nicaragua in the early 1980s. The exhibition also asks two separate questions - How is it possible to make an image of revolution? How is it possible to make a religious image? - and suggests that they have profound connections. Imitation of Christ encompasses a diverse range of objects, including Renaissance and Baroque prints and drawings, documentary photographs, Latin American art, and rare books.
Produced in conjunction with 'Houseguest' exhibition at the Hammer Museum May 18, 2013 - August 18, 2013.

The Imitation of Christ exhibition draws from the collection of the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts and from the Charles E. Young Research Library Department of Special Collections. The Houseguest series is organized by curator Allegra Pesenti.
