When Art Disrupts Religion opens at London's Tate Modern Museum,
with a young Evangelical man contemplating a painting by Mark
Rothko, an aesthetic experience that proves disruptive to his
religious life. Without those moments with Rothko, he says, "there
never would have been an undoing of my conservative Evangelical
worldview." The memoirs, interviews, and ethnographic field notes
gathered by Philip Francis for this book lay bare the power of the
arts to unsettle and overturn deeply ingrained religious beliefs
and practices. Francis explores the aesthetic disturbances of more
than 80 Evangelical respondants. From the paintings of Rothko to
the films of Ingmar Bergman, from The Brothers Karamozov to The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Francis finds that the arts function as
sites of "defamiliarization," "comfort in uncertainty," "a stand-in
for faith" and a "surrogate transcendence." Bridging the gap
between aesthetic theory and lived religion, this book sheds light
on the complex interrelationship of religion and art in the modern
West, and the role of the arts in education and social life.
