Making detailed reference to specific artists and works, Thistlewaite shows how the diversity of our responses to modern art, as well as that of previous centuries, inescapably raises the question of truth. This readable and thought-provoking book breaks new ground as it links the pleasures of art to the dynamic character of God, and asks what happens to creativity and to artists when the appreciation of God is absent. It thus offers readers a fresh perspective from which to appreciate art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Thistlethwaite read Art History at Cambridge, spent four years with Old Master and Modern British art in a leading Bond Street, London, gallery, before returning to Cambridge to do research.
