Van der Leeuw, p. 155
"In the very ability to make images there is a religious component."
While it is extremely common for artists to connect to religion through their work, especially in the Renaissance period, I think it is completely possible for art to be a disconnect from religion.
I understand that art is imitation of the world around us and that our surroundings were created by God in many people's eyes, but I think that one can create art or recreate the world around us without connecting with a higher power.
Sometimes art can be therapeutic and relaxing without religion being pulled into it. A way to get away from the world.
Any thoughts on this?
