About This Item
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1992. Hardcover. Art museum ex-lib. copy with some marks but very clean, tight contents. Dj faded in spots.. Mustard cloth/boards. Blue, color-illustrated dj with protective acetate cover. xiv, 346 pp. with bw images throughout and 36 color illustrations. A bit heavy at 5 pounds and may require extra postage. From the Religion and Postmodernism Series. Disfiguring is the first sustained interpretation of the deep but often hidden links among twentieth-century art, architecture, and religion. While many of the greatest modern painters and architects have insisted on the spiritual significance of their work, historians of modern art and architecture have largely avoided questions of religion. Likewise, contemporary philosophers and theologians have, for the most part, ignored visual arts. Taylor presents a carefully structured and subtly nuanced analysis of the religious presuppositions that inform recent artistic theory and practice—and, in doing so, recasts the cultural landscape of our era.
