Summary

Abstract Forms explores the revolutionary shift in art history when sculptors moved away from traditional forms, embracing abstract art to redefine space, shape, and perception. It investigates how avant-garde movements paved the way for minimalist and experimental designs. The book highlights the deconstruction of form, moving from imitation to invention, and the innovative use of industrial materials like steel and plastic, where the materials themselves became part of the artistic message. This comprehensive analysis delves into how abstract sculptures engage with and transform their environment, creating a dynamic experience for viewers.

 
The book progresses through key concepts of abstraction and non-representation, structured around form, material innovation, and spatial engagement. Case studies feature artists like Constantin Brancusi and Barbara Hepworth, illustrating these concepts. By focusing on the interplay between form, material, and space, Abstract Forms offers a unique and holistic understanding of this influential art form.

    Many consider Georges Rouault (1871–1958) to be one of the most important religious painters of the last few centuries. Yet both the secular art world and the church have struggled to engage with his work, which is profoundly shaped by his Christian faith and also starkly explores the pain and darkness of human experience.
In this volume, a group of theologians, artists, and historians seek to bring Rouault out of the shadows. They offer a deeper understanding of the theological impulse of modern art and of Rouault's distinct contributions. Chapters explore how Rouault's unique work was influenced by his historical context, by personal suffering, and by biblical themes, especially the Passion of Christ. Essays are interspersed with original artistic responses to Rouault in the form of images and poetry, with contributions from Sandra Bowden, William A. Dyrness, Thomas Hibbs, Soo Kang, and others.
Rouault displays our need for mercy within a world of anguish. This book explores how his prophetic creativity continues to inspire artists and thinkers seeking to understand the powerful intersection of lament and hope.
The Studies in Theology and the Arts  series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature, film, and more.
