Book Reviews of Modern Art and the Death of a Culture
Book Review: A Very Good Treatment of the Arts
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great treatment of modern art, the role of Christians in the arts, and the development of the arts over history. Han, carefully and compellingly shows how ideas and worldviews are worked out in art. This book does require careful, slow reading. Especially if you are not already exposed to a lot of information about art history. This will challenge you and give you a much deeper perception of what art is, what it means, and how it reflects ideas.
Summary of Modern Art and the Death of a Culture
This disturbing but illuminating classic is a brilliant perspective on the cultural turmoil of the radical sixties and its impact on today's world, especially as reflected in the art of the time. Rookmaaker's enduring analysis looks at modern art in a broad historical, social, and philosophical context, laying bare the despair and nihilism that pervade our era. He also shows the role Christian artists can play in proclaiming truth through their work.
Rookmaaker's brilliant articulation of faith and scholarship is insightful and inspiring. The book moves freely and with a sense of urgency between the worlds of high culture, popular art and music, and Christian faith.
This reissue makes his foundational work available to a new generation.
"A landmark book in the story of contemporary Christians in the arts." --Os Guinness, author of The American Hour
