Abstract sacred art – Visual iconography of the transcendent

6 days ago

How can the intangible absolute be made visible on the canvas?

In his essay, Professor Dr. Michael Kastor demonstrates how the non-representational art of abstraction and the ordering structures of Cubism have expanded and transformed traditional religious painting.
