The Unspeakable Art of Bill Viola

Arts & Literature

“As we rethink the strange (and estranged) place of religion in the discourses of modern and contemporary art, this is the kind of study we are much in need of. Ronald Bernier's book establishes a rich and well-informed theological framework for questioning and interpreting Bill Viola's work. In fact, the implicit argument of this volume is that until we allow such a framework to shape our critical method, our understanding of Viola's work will remain unacceptably flat.”
