In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of art documentaries were produced, many of them being highly personal, poetic, reflexive and experimental films that offer a thrilling cinematic experience. With the exception of Alain Resnaiss Van Gogh (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzots Le Mystère Picasso (1956) and a few others, most of them have received only scant scholarly attention. This book aims to rectify this situation by discussing the most lyrical, experimental and influential post-war art documentaries, connecting them to contemporaneous museological developments and Euro-American cultural and political relationships. With contributors with expertise across art history and film studies, Art in the Cinema draws attention to film projects by André Bazin, Ilya Bolotowsky, Paul Haesaerts, Carlo Ragghianti, John Read, Dudley Shaw Aston, Henri Storck and Willard Van Dyke among others.

Christianity Today 2024 Book Award Finalist (Culture and the Arts) Contemporary American evangelicalism is suffering from an identity crisis--and a lot of bad press. In The Evangelical Imagination, acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior analyzes the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism and unpacks some of the movement's most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices. She shows that understanding what the term "evangelical" means today means understanding not only evangelicalism's faith commitments but also the images, metaphors, assumptions, and stories that have cultivated evangelical culture. Brought to life with color illustrations and paintings, this book explores ideas including conversion domesticity empire sentimentality and more "Provides plenty of fodder for those wishing to explore what evangelicalism is and reimagine what it might become. It's an eye-opener."--Publishers Weekly "Akin to enjoying a lively conversation over a cheering yet bracing cup of tea."--Christianity Today (5-star review) "A breathtaking reminder of just how powerful the evangelical imagination has been and how much is lost when we forfeit it."--The Gospel Coalition Autorid: Karen Swallow Prior

A riveting re-examination of one of the twentieth century's most mythologized figures-stripping away the legend to reveal a far more complicated, far more consequential T.E. Lawrence.For generations, T.E. Lawrence has been immortalized as a hero of intellect and action-a desert warrior shrouded in sunlight and legend. Yet behind the cinematic grandeur and polished British mythology lies a far more complex, turbulent truth. During the First World War, Lawrence stood at the epicenter of alliances, betrayals, bold maneuvers, and imperial ambitions that would redefine the Middle East. Now comes a set of essays that pulls back the curtain on those decisive wartime years, revealing the moments when Lawrence's influence collided with-and often reinforced-the strategic designs of the British Empire.Drawing on meticulous research, sharp narrative focus, and uncompromising analysis, it is a story that uncovers how Lawrence's choices-whether rooted in strategy, idealism, or profound misjudgment-helped destabilize the region. His actions deepened sectarian divides, redrew borders with little regard for identity or history, and elevated rulers chosen for imperial utility rather than national legitimacy.Lawrence's wartime legacy continues to reverberate through today's Middle East conflicts. By stripping away a century of romanticized biography and imperial mythmaking, Unmasking T.E. Lawrence offers a clear-eyed portrait of an insurgent-spy-scholar: brilliant, daring, conflicted, and unmistakably flawed. His decisions, however visionary or misguided, cast a long shadow-one whose consequences still shape the region and weigh heavily on future generations.
