He photographed it, called it \u2018\u2018arc\u2019\u2019 and sold it to the Museum of Modern Art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ten years ago George Will wrote a column titled \u2018\u2018The Shocking Bourgeoisie\u2019\u2019 in which he wrote, \u2018\u2018There will be an abundance of fine art if you declare that fine art is anything that anyone calling himself an artist calls fine art. If I call a tail a leg, how many legs has a dog got? Five? No, because calling a tail a leg doesn\u2019t make it a leg.\u2019\u2019 And calling cows with words painted on them \u2018\u2018art\u2019\u2019 doesn\u2019t make it art. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. confessed, \u2018\u2018Today\u2019s art is fashioned, for the most part, by quacks and the occasional fool.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No people should grieve to see the destruction of the fine arts more than the people of God. We are in the unique place of understanding divine truth and its illumination in the created world through things that man can make, i.e., art. But Christianity (especially conservative) has too often flinched at the overt atrocities in the art world and has, at the same time, consented to mediocrity in the rest. There is a type of art known today as \u2018\u2018kitsch.\u2019\u2019 It is the poor quality ornament or \u2018\u2018knickknack,\u2019\u2019 Elvis on black velvet or dresser-top souvenirs sold at tourist traps. Calvin Seerveld says, \u2018\u2018it is hard to talk to Christians about kitsch because those who love it are naive about it, unaware that they are identifying with something fake and inferior.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As Luther (quoted above) points out, we are apt to present divine truth this way and become a religious knickknack shop. Take a stroll through the local Bible book store and ask yourself, \u2018\u2018Do Christians love kitsch?\u2019\u2019 But don\u2019t stop in the knickknack aisle, browse through the Christian fiction section, play the latest Christian video game and listen to the popular tune coming none too softly over the speaker system and don\u2019t forget your free \u2018\u2018Honk if you love Jesus\u2019\u2019 bumper sticker on the way out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was Sir Arnold Toynbee (A Study of History) in the 1940s who called this sort of thing \u2018\u2018promiscuity . . . an act of self-surrender to the melting pot . . . in Religion and Literature and Art as well as Manners and Customs.\u2019\u2019 Francis Schaeffer in The God Who Is There wrote, \u2018\u2018Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation.\u2019\u2019 But Christian kitsch prevails in most of our lives. In the books we read (or don\u2019t), the things we watch, the music we play, the decor of our homes and churches and even our vocabulary all mark us guilty of this promiscuity of God\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I confess to being guilty and am sorry for it. I am the worse off for having succumbed often in my life to the spirit of the age. A few of my \u2018\u2018friends\u2019\u2019 (as Dr. Harju often calls them) have brought me a little closer to reality. There are some past \u2018\u2018friends\u2019\u2019 such as Francis Schaeffer, C.S. Lewis, A.W. Tozer, and some present \u2018\u2018friends\u2019\u2019 such as Gene Veith, Cal Thomas, and Neil Postman. They are helping me be an iconophile rather than an iconoclast. The following thought was induced by Gene Veith in State Of The Arts (reviewed this month).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adam was told to \u2018\u2018dress\u2019\u2019 the garden of Eden and \u2018\u2018keep it\u2019\u2019 (Gen 2:15). After the fall he must struggle with nature and labor by his sweat to survive (Gen 3:19). To do that, man must depend both on the resources of nature and his own creative abilities. Food comes from God\u2019s earth but man must apply the art of farming to get it. Every honest occupation is an art because it is a God-given craft. Dishonest occupations (robbery, fraud, embezzlement) exploit other\u2019s artful labor to get gain without work. All honest work, the talents and gifts from our Creator, is art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018\u2018Fine art\u2019\u2019 is developed ability to make beautiful things that honor the Creator (painting, music, oratory). In Exodus 28, twice God commanded (vss 2 &amp; 40) the tabernacle to be built for \u2018\u2018glory and beauty.\u2019\u2019 Fine art has a two-fold nature: it is to have meaning (\u2018\u2018glory\u2019\u2019) and form (\u2018\u2018beauty\u2019\u2019). God is interested in both. A Sunday School picture of Jesus may be compared to a Rembrandt painting of Christ. In meaning they are nearly the same, both referring to God Incarnate. In form, however, they are worlds apart. The photo-copied curriculum picture cannot compare in form to Rembrandt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In our churches, as well as in our personal lives, we should strive to honor God by the best \u2018\u2018glory and beauty\u2019\u2019 possible. And we should be tolerant when we try our best but fall somewhat short (I\u2019m not sure how tolerant we should be when we don\u2019t try). When I hear a song sung that glorifies God both in words (meaning) and music (form), it blesses me. When someone introduces a song with \u2018\u2018listen to these words,\u2019\u2019 he may be preparing me for good meaning but poor form. So I try to appreciate the meaning. Another may sing a song that misses meaning altogether but has beautiful form. So I try to appreciate the form. I think God desires both \u2018\u2018glory and beauty.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, this line of thinking could (and should) be followed further. A lost world usually grieves God in form and meaning (can we seriously doubt that in our day of erotic art, MTV and slasher films?). If our generation of believers succumbs to the artistic kitsch of the day, we will fail to honor God in either form or meaning. The church of Jesus Christ must take the lead. We have the meaning given to us in His Word, and we have the form being created in Him unto good works. We should strive to do the best in both areas. As one kitsch expert says, \u2018\u2018Anything less would be uncivilized!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wish that the young men might have something to rid them of their love ditties and wanton songs and might instead of these learn wholesome things and thus yield willingly to the good; also, because I am not of the opinion that all the arts shall be crushed to earth and perish through the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[151],"class_list":["post-1114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-worship-music"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
