Sailors of the Sky

By: Fr. Radovan Bigovic

A conversation with Fr. Stamatis Skliris and Fr. Marko Rupnik on contemporary Christian art In these well-timed conversations, led by Fr. Radovan Bigovic, many issues were brought up so that a contemporary reader could deepen and expand his or her understanding of the role of art in the life of the Church today, both Eastern and Western. Here we find answers to stimulating questions on the crisis of contemporary ecclesiastical art in the West and East; the impact of Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract painting on contemporary ecclesiastical painting; and a consideration of the main distinction between iconography and secular painting.
