Recenzii
When we think of Christian art rooted in Western culture, what comes to mind?... Variations in Christian Art spotlights an intriguing combination of four lesser-known Christian artistic traditions: Mennonites, Quakers, Latter-day Saints and Swedenborgians.
This well-researched volume offers a rich contrast of attitudes towards the visual amongst four Christian groups situated on the edge of the mainstream and details how artists within those traditions have navigated a path between organisational religious sensibilities and their own personal creativity. Generously illustrated and offering an abundance of insights into the nature of the relationship between religion and art, this book is accessible, engaging and compelling.
The relationship between art and religion is hugely complicated, involving a vast variety of objects, understood in a great variety of ways by people with a great variety of beliefs, approaches and agendas.
As religion today changes, its relationship to 'art' is attracting more and more interest from scholars, museum curators and many others.
These four studies examine 'art' and 'religion' in four very different modern Western faith traditions: Mennonites, Mormons, Quakers and Swedenborgians. They reveal just how complicated the relationship can be, opening the door to new understandings of the relationship of objects to religion, that key element of the human experience.
Variations in Christian Art: Mennonite, Mormon, Quaker, and Swedenborgian Art offers a fascinating account of the place of art in four religious traditions that have often been overlooked in art historical scholarship.
The authors provide important insight about theologies of visuality, the role of images in worship, and the impact of faith on artistic practice in each of the four denominations, demonstrating the significance of visual art even in traditions that have been commonly mischaracterized as iconoclastic.
Variations in Christian Art offers an expanded vision Christian art, revealing a rich diversity of religious thought and artistic production in denominations that may be less familiar to scholars and students of religious art.
In commenting on a painting by the artist, William Page, Elizabeth Barrett Browning once described him as "an earnest, simple, noble artist and man, who carries his Christianity down from his deep heart to the point of his brush." In many ways, this describes the effort of every visionary artist, in whatever religious tradition they follow. In this well-written, meticulously researched, and highly informative book, Apostolos-Cappadona provides abundant evidence that art is much more than "art for art's sake." It is the timeless quest to capture in visual imagery, the spiritual nature of material existence. As the writer Joseph Conrad once said, "My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel-it is, before all, to make you see." This has been the task of every artist, including the Christian visionaries that are included in this volume. Each, in their own way, endeavored to transmit to others the visions of spiritual beauty they beheld within and behind physical existence. In addition to being an important contribution to the history of art, this book will be an inspiration to all who read it.
