The book includes accounts of the founding benefactors and four directors--David Finley, John Walker, J. Carter Brown, and now Earl A.

"Religions teach their adherents how to see and feel at the same time, so learning to see is not a disembodied process but one hammered out on the forge of human need, social relations, and material practice. Therefore, religions may be studied through the lens of salient visual themes. This book tells a history of Catholic and Protestant Christianity since the sixteenth century by selecting visual themes that have shaped the development of the religion throughout the modern era. Chapters examine a variety of visual practices, including imagination, envisioning nationhood, the likeness of Jesus, modern art as a spiritual quest, the material life of words, and the importance of images for education, devotion, worship, and domestic life."--Provided by publisher.

These never before published or exhibited work books of artist Brice Marden (b. 1938) are here presented in lavish duotone and full-color reproductions, and offer vivid testimony to the workings of a major painter's imagination. In drawings, sketches, and studies, the intimate framework of the Work Books corresponds to the rigor and poetic intensity with which the artist reflects on the principles of autonomous abstract art. Taken as a totality, the drawings included in this book are an important artwork in their own right, and are crucial to any understanding of Marden's oeuvre.
