Abstract (en)

Philosophical interpretation of the links between art, architecture and religion in the 20th c., which characterizes this period as falling into three "epochs": modernism and two contrasting versions of postmodernism. Seeks to establish the spiritual preoccupations of leading painters and architects and to disclose the religious significance of their work, and by exploring the religious dimensions of 20th c. art aims to show how the visual arts continue to serve as a resource for the theological imagination.
