Metaphysical thought has been excluded from much of the discourse
on modern art, especially abstract painting. By connecting ideas
about faith with the initiators of abstract painting, Joseph
Masheck reveals how an underlying religiosity informed some of our
most important abstract painters. Covering Wassily Kandinsky,
Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, and El Lissitzky, Masheck shows
how ‘revealed religion’ has been an underlying but fundamental
determinant of the thinking and practice of abstract painting from
its originators down to the present. He contextualizes their art
within some of the historical moments of the early 20th century,
including the Russian revolution and the Stalinist period, and
explores the appeal of certain themes, such as the Passion of
Christ. A radical new theorization of the influence of religion
over visual art, Faith in Art asks why metaphysics has been
eliminated from the discussion where it might have something to
say. This is a new way of thinking about a hundred years of
abstract painting.
