| Zusammenfassung: | A significant number of works of contemporary art; paintings, stained-glass windows, architecture are called holy art. What is holiness? How can it be identified and what is its function? Contemporary art in France, during the second half of the 20th century, must be considered from the viewpoint of the political and religious history on the European continent. By using Judeo-Christian symbols of the religious inheritance artists express their feelings about the world in which they live. Informing against all sorts of suffering and injustice the artist gets involved as a citizen of the world standing up for universal human values. That artistic autonomy goes together with a policy of public orders developed in the 80s by the government concerning listed buildings. Extending the first actions of Fathers Couturier and Régamey in the 50s, the Central government in partnership with religious institutions allows the artist to create esthetic and spiritual works of art. Space, matter, shape and colour give birth to stained-glass windows: transcendental creation offered to people in search for meaning. What you cannot see or cannot say comes up through alchemy surpassing the craftman. Le Corbusier, Mario Botta, the former in Saint-Pierre's church in Firminy in La Loire department, the latter in Evry construct and raise places of worship up to places of spirituality and culture. Artists, curators, philosophers, churchmen, teachers have enriched my research and account for the sources of my study. Their work strengthens my belief that a sacred art relying on the artist's sensibility and commitment imposes itself on the world today |
