Traces du Sacré

Part of my review of Traces du Sacré, the current exhibition at Paris' Centre Pompidou, which appears, presumably in full, in today's Church Times, can be found on the Church Times website by clicking here.

In the review I conclude that:

"Traces du Sacré is a significant exhibition both sociologically and artistically. Sociologically, because it recognises the re-emergence of religion (or decline of irreligion) in the 21st century and artistically, because it re-tells the story of Modern Art through its non-Christian spiritual influences. A fuller re-telling of that story acknowledging and highlighting the very real influences of Christianity on Modern and Contemporary Art still awaits a brave and informed contemporary curator."
