Hi Searcher. Perhaps that painting by Rembrandt would be a start. There is a book by Henry Nouwen called "The Return of the Prodigal Son" -- it is short, and very good, meditation on that painting. So often, Christians don't participate in shaping culture. But why? Bach continues to draw people to God... we need people doing these things today. I often give lectures about my art-making --- and it is interesting because it opens doors for people. Christians come to my talks, and have their eyes opened about art (and are encouraged in faith as well) and people that love painting come to my talks, and find a fresh, jargon-free entry into the gospel. Indeed, the history of western art is like a great cloud of witnesses, testifying across the centuries. They present their convictions of the unseen (Hebrews 11:1), in a way that draws viewers deeper into God's care. Peace. |
