The image of Christ in modern art
Harries, Richard 1936-
The image of Christ in modern art - Ashgate 2013 - 240 pages
Richard Harries explores the challenges presented by the radical and rapid changes of artistic style in the 20th century to artists who wished to relate to traditional Christian imagery. In the 1930s David Jones said that he and his contemporaries were acutely conscious of 'the break', by which he meant the fragmentation and loss of a once widely shared Christian narrative and set of images. The situation as he described it then is even more acute now.
