DEBORAH ROSENTHAL—Colorful oils that reinterpret the awe of sacred art (in Gothic and Romanesque cathedrals and stained glass, for example) through a modernist eye. The artist uses the rich gestures of twentieth-century spiritual art—the arabesques of Kandinsky, the saturated color of Klee, the dreamy images of Redon—to fashion a personal symbolism based largely on medieval sources. Lovely, bright, and lyrical, but shot through with the austerity of ritual. Through July 16. (Joseph Gallery, Hebrew Union College, 1 W. 4th St. 824-2205.)
