It's interesting to me that I can think of at least two examples of Mormon art that qualify in these regards: OSC's Ender's Game and the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Evangelical -- yes. Protestant, no. Christian...well, according to them, yes. <BR/><BR/>Great new blog!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682585331782239902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22105457.post-1139791128427634512006-02-12T16:38:00.000-08:002006-02-12T16:38:00.000-08:00I haven't decided for sure, but I'm beginning to t...I haven't decided for sure, but I'm beginning to think that The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers is an example of good Christian Art, if not perfectly doctrinal. I just finished a post on my blog about them. They are a rock group, one of those branches of art that seems, in my opinion, most sought after by Christians, yet most allusive...and not in the Seerveld sense either.noneuclideanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401446537047753731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22105457.post-1139717851261147982006-02-11T20:17:00.000-08:002006-02-11T20:17:00.000-08:00David, this is so great that you can post pictures...David, this is so great that you can post pictures now.<BR/><BR/>In music it is not very difficult to find protestant artists. I think that's true throughout our recorded history. <BR/><BR/>It may ring true that the culture of evangelical protestantism is not yet ripe for recognizing and encouraging great art, but that is true of many cultures throughout history. I'd like to see you give a stab at why certain cultures produced great art in the past.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537697427849040570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22105457.post-1139617603039624172006-02-10T16:26:00.000-08:002006-02-10T16:26:00.000-08:00After a brisk visit to the gym a revised thought c...After a brisk visit to the gym a revised thought comes to me. By excellent art I also mean art that is broadly recognized by a range of publics and critics beyond the Christian subculture. I also think it counts that the artist has made his or her art for at least 10-20 years. So, for instance, I would include the music group Over The Rhine in this category.w. david o. taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048604209388355706noreply@blogger.com
