  • Jewish Life in Poland

    The Art of Moshe Rynecki (1881-1943)

    Moshe Rynecki used his paintbrush and palette to document and chronicle the life of his community-Jewish people of Warsaw, Poland.

  • Re-Enchantment

    Edición de James Elkins, David Morgan ...
    Series series The Art Seminar
    The near-absence of religion from contemporary discourse on art is one of the most fundamental issues in postmodernism. Artists critical of religion can find voices in the art world, but religion itself, including spirituality, is taken to be excluded by the very project of modernism. The sublime, "re-enchantment" (as in Weber), and the aura (as in Benjamin) have been used to smuggle religious ... Leer más
