Art and the Sacred by Wendy Beckett

What is it about some art that prompts us to regard it as sacred? This book defines the sacred in art and illuminates the theory by the use of 65 commentaries, each of which is set beside a full-page reproduction of the work under discussion. With artists as varied as Picasso, Mondrian, Bob Natkin, Agnes Martin, Winifred Nicholson and Catherine Lee, this book brings together some of the masterpieces of our time, complemented by a text that confirms the presence of the sacred in a notably secular age.
