Crucifixions and Resurrections of the Image

Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of theology and modern art, the book delves into works by influential mid-20th-century artists like Beuys, Rothko, and Kiefer, as well as filmmakers such as Bergman and Tarkovsky. Pattison argues for the relevance of modernism, linking themes of cultural and social crises to the motif of 'the death of God.' He presents a Christian theological perspective that engages with art often perceived as secular or antagonistic, highlighting how both secular art and theology respond to shared existential questions.
