Africanizing Christian Art: Kevin Carroll and Yoruba Christian Art in NIgeria

Nicholas J. Bridger
4.9/5 (21042 ratings)
Description:Encounters, whether between cultures or faiths and the arts that shape and sustain them, are often moments of creativity and innovation. One such moment occurred when Picasso and others, inspired by African art, changed the course of European art history. On a smaller scale, the meeting of Christian-inspired art and Yoruba art fostered by the Vatican visionary policy of ‘adaptation’ and ‘inculturation’ and the life-long dedication of Father Kevin Carroll, created a vibrant hybrid – Yoruba Christian art. As Nick Bridger notes, this was ‘…a highly visible step in the decolonization of the Catholic Church and its art in Nigeria’ — a radical departure wonderfully documented in this long-overdue volume.” Henry John Drewal, Evjue-Bascom Professor of Art History and Afro-American Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WIWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
