Is contemporary art a friend or foe of Christianity? Art historian; critic; and curator Daniel Siedell; addresses this question and presents a framework for interpreting art from a Christian worldview in God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art. As such; it is an excellent companion to Francis Schaeffers classic Art and the Bible. Divided into three parts--"Theology;" "History;" and "Practice"--God in the Gallery demonstrates that art is in conversation with and not opposed to the Christian faith. In addition; this book is beautifully enhanced with images from such artists as Andy Warhol; Jackson Pollock; Enrique Martiacute;nez Celaya; and others. Readers of this book will include professors; students; artists; and anyone interested in Christianity and culture.

There are so many out there that just spew out the same tired stuff in a slightly new package. Lecoq is the real deal. It has a place on my "favorites" bookshelf; where I go when I need inspiration. Lots of great exercises. Lots of great ideas.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Great for Teachers and StudentsBy Some GuySuperb text. Worked out of this book; page by page with 10 college theatre students. Highly recommend it for academic use and for personal reading. Very solid text helpful in gaining a strong foundation in movement theatre that is rapidly overtaking the mainstream. Many of LeCoqs ideas are visible everywhere in the NY theatre. Pig Iron Theatre Company is a great example of a group of LeCoq trained performers; and is also a resource for learning more; if you are in the Philly/New York area.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great work by a masterBy Dominique SweeneyThis is the last account by Jacques Lecoq of a pedagogy he developed using theatre but taking in creative experience generally inspired by "nature". This is his story - a wise way to approach drama.
