Publisher's Synopsis

Art and Religion is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between art and religion, written by Vogt and Von Ogden. The book delves into the ways in which art has been used to express religious beliefs and how religion has influenced artistic expression throughout history. The authors examine various forms of religious art, including painting, sculpture, architecture, and music, and explore the ways in which these art forms have been used to communicate religious ideas and experiences. They also discuss the role of the artist within religious communities and the ways in which religion has influenced artistic training and practice. The book is richly illustrated with examples of religious art from different cultures and time periods, making it an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and religion.1921.
