Disfiguring by Mark C Taylor
Disfiguring is the first sustained interpretation of the deep but often hidden links among twentieth-century art, architecture, and religion. While many of the greatest modern painters and architects have insisted on the spiritual significance of their work, historians of modern art and architecture have largely avoided questions of religion. Likewise, contemporary philosophers and theologians have, for the most part, ignored visual arts. Taylor presents a carefully structured and subtly nuanced analysis of the religious presuppositions that inform recent artistic theory and practice--and, in doing so, recasts the cultural landscape of our era.
Mark C. Taylor is a professor of religion and the chair of Columbia University's Department of Religion. He is the author of more than a dozen publications, including the University of Chicago Press's Hiding and Disfiguring: Art, Architecture, and Religion.
