Abstract (en)

A collection of articles written by the French Dominican, Marie-Alain Couturier, 1950-1953, in reaction to the general acceptance of mediocre religious art and in an effort to promote great modern masters. Works discussed include Matisse's chapel at Vence (1951), Léger's stained glass windows at Audincourt (1951), and Le Corbusier's Ronchamp (1955).
