Description
Drawing from the fields of music, sociology, theology, philosophy, psychology, and aesthetics, VISUAL PIETY is the first book to bring to specialist and lay reader alike an understanding of religious imagery's place in the social formation and maintenance of everyday American life--from Warner Sallman's 'Head of Christ" to velvet renditions of DaVinci's "Last Supper" to prayer card illustrations, and much more. 69 illustrations.
Description
"American Protestants draw on a vast body of religious icons to disseminate confessional views, to teach, and to celebrate various family occasions. This work focuses on the production, marketing, and reception of one such set of religious illustrations, the art of Warner Sallman (1892-1968)." - Publisher.
