La mystique de l'art
Art et christianisme de 1900 à nos jours
Jérôme Cottin - Collection Histoire
Résumé
--
Towards the end of the 19th century, Art liberated itself from Christianity, at the same time as it discovered new forms of expression. But it was not so much from the Christian message as from the institution of the Church itself that Art took its distance - or, misunderstood in its demand for total freedom without which creativity is impossible, had been distanced. In 20th century art, Christian references are nevertheless still present, but reinterpreted in a new and personal - and sometimes provocative - manner, by artists of all tendencies and from all walks of life. By challenging social, cultural or religious orders that are often rigid or unjust, the artist takes on the allure of a prophet. This breaking away from the Christian art of past centuries can therefore be regarded as a return to the founding sources: contemporary art rediscovers, sometimes quite involuntarily, existential and spiritual themes which were already present in the Bible stories. The beginning of the 21st century is marked by the internationalization of artistic movements, new searches for meaning, a multiplicity of beliefs and different models for the relationship between Christianity and culture. This book has opted for a thematic, rather than a chronological perspective: a selection of artists, works, movements and artistic themes are first of all studied for their own merit, then in relation to a theological conception of art. Its aim is to restore the spiritual dimension in art - its mystic - as well as the Scriptures, struggling in a society that places great value on aesthetics and visual communication.
