Painting Prayer - Alfonse Borysewicz - diskuze

When you enter a house of worship, what are you hoping to experience? Probably something like transcendence--a feeling of being taken out of your everyday existence to experience something profound, something beyond your usual life. When you look at art, what are you hoping to experience? Probably something similar. Good art can do that: it can lift you out of your circumstances. It can make you think. It can move you. Both a spiritual resource for thoughtful Christians and creatives, and a meditation on the relationship between faith and the arts, in this book artist Alfonse Borysewicz explores the complex relationship between art''s push against boundaries and the church''s respect for the boundedness of faith, tradition, and theology.
