Christian Art and Visual Culture in Taiwan

About this book

Drawing upon fine art and objects made forpedagogical and devotional needs of the local Christian communities, including prints, posters, paintings, and photographs dating from theearly twentieth centuryto the present, this volume mainly explores Christian art in Taiwan. By recognizing the artistic development from merely adapting traditional Christian iconography to creating new indigenous narratives, Su-Chi Lin examines the issue ofvisual representationraised in such inculturation processes, and considers whether these artworks offer models to re-imagine the contextual illustration of global Christian faith.[RĂ€ume der Vermittlung. Christliche Kunst undvisuelle Kultur in Taiwan]Der vorliegende Band erkundet christliche Kunst in Taiwan am Beispiel von Bildender Kunst und Kunsthandwerk, das fĂŒr pĂ€dagogische und devotionale Zwecke der lokalen christlichen Gemeinschaften geschaffen wurde. Die Drucke, Poster, Bilder und Photographien datieren vom frĂŒhen 20. Jahrhundert bis heute. Die kĂŒnstlerische Entwicklung reicht dabei von der bloßen Adaption christlicher Ikonographie bis zur Schöpfung neuer indigener Narrative. Su-Chi Lin untersucht die visuellen ReprĂ€sentationen in solchen Inkulturationsprozessen und geht der Frage nach, ob diese Kunstwerke Modelle anbieten fĂŒr die kontextuelle Illustration des globalen christlichen Glaubens.
