Byzantine art is normally explained as devotional, historical,
highly intellectualized, but this book argues for an experiential
necessity for a fuller, deeper, more ethical approach to this art.
Written in response to an exhibition the author curated at The
Menil Collection in 2013, this monograph challenges us to search
for novel ways to explore and interrogate the art of this distant
culture. They marshal diverse disciplines-modern art, environmental
theory, anthropology-to argue that Byzantine culture formed a
special kind of Christian animism. While completely foreign to our
world, that animism still holds important lessons for approaches to
our own relations to the world. Mutual probings of subject and art,
of past and present, arise in these essays-some new and some
previously published-and new explanations therefore open up that
will interest historians of art, museum professionals, and anyone
interested in how art makes and remakes the world. This book is
available as Open Access.
