Summary:
"This slim volume consists of four essays, each devoted to a major American contemporary artist: Segal, de Staebler, Johns, and Christo. The author's intent is to "explore theological perceptions of such art where transcendence is expressed and experienced with the human body." This is achieved by a careful "reading" of a wide range of each artist's works supplemented by extensive quotations from the artist and by the insights of theologians and philosophers.' -- from Amazon book description
