ReVisioning
Author: James Romaine
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630871826
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
ReVisioning: Critical Methods of Seeing Christianity in the History of Art examines the application of art historical methods to the history of Christianity and art. As methods of art history have become more interdisciplinary, there has been a notable emergence of discussions of religion in art history as well as related fields such as visual culture and theology. This book represents the first critical examination of scholarly methodologies applied to the study of Christian subjects, themes, and contexts in art. ReVisioning contains original work from a range of scholars, each of whom has addressed the question, in regard to a well-known work of art or body of work, "How have particular methods of art history been applied, and with what effect?" The study moves from the third century to the present, providing extensive treatment and analysis of art historical methods applied to the history of Christianity and art.

Breaking Resemblance
Author: Alena Alexandrova
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823274497
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
In recent decades curators and artists have shown a distinct interest in religion, its different traditions, manifestations in public life, gestures and images. Breaking Resemblance explores the complex relationship between contemporary art and religion by focusing on the ways artists re-work religious motifs as a means to reflect critically on our desire to believe in images, on the history of seeing them, and on their double power— iconic and political. It discusses a number of exhibitions that take religion as their central theme, and a selection of works by Bill Viola, Lawrence Malstaf, Victoria Reynolds, and Berlinde de Bruyckere—all of whom, in their respective ways and media, recycle religious motifs and iconography and whose works resonate with, or problematize the motif of, the true image.

Postmodernism
Author: Eleanor Heartney
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521004381
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
This volume is an introduction to the intellectual movement known as Postmodernism and its impact on the visual arts.

Postmodernism provides a concise and articulate overview of the Postmodern phenomenon. Eleanor Heartney is a contributing editor for Art in America, New Art Examiner, and Art Press.

A Heretic's Guide to Eternity
Author: Spencer Burke
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 078799782X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Distinguishing between religion and spirituality, Burke offers what he calls a new way of looking at God, one centered on the idea of grace. He emphasizes a God who is looking to save the world, not a God who seems more intent on condemning certain practices . . . . For Burke, God is to be questioned, not simply obeyed. His challenging thesis will appeal to many people today who have given up on organized religion but still seek some connection to spirituality.
