Recenzje

"Through her latest book on Visual Spirituality, media and visual theorist Susan B. Barnes articulates the need to acknowledge the role of the spiritual in making and experiencing art in contemporary secular visual culture. She calls us to recognize art as intrinsically spiritual and the spiritual as intrinsically art. By balancing rational and intuitive ways of knowing and being (Omniphasism) and inclusively drawing on both rather than shutting out one or the other, humans can enhance their spiritual awareness and connect the spiritual to the art of living." -Julianne H. Newton, Professor of Visual Communication, University of Oregon
