Dr Breatnach suggests that his purpose in using this image was, at l...

Contrary to much opinion, the current scene of faith-related art is very much alive. There are new commissions for churches and cathedrals, a number of artists pursue their work on the basis of a deeply convinced faith, and other artists often resonate with traditional Christian themes, albeit in a highly untraditional way. The challenge for the artist, stated in the introduction to the course of lectures above, is still very much there: how to retain artistic integrity whilst doing justice t...

This has presented a particular problem to artists who have w...

Can the designer or public artist operate as a proactive "parrhesiatic" agent and contribute to the protection, develop...
