The Artistic Vision
Matt Milliner-Approaching Modern Art: Subvert the Subversion
Today on The Artistic Vision podcast, we have Professor of Art History at Wheaton College, Matt Milliner. He shares his unique perspective on modern art. He reveals how he has grown to appreciate contemporary art, exploring his concept of "subverting the subversion." Matthew also delves into the often overlooked art of indigenous peoples and the significant yet neglected figure of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. This thought-provoking conversation is perfect for Christian artists who are seeking to deepen their understanding of art, faith, and culture.
Dr. Milliner holds an M.A. & Ph.D. in art history from Princeton University, and an M.Div from Princeton Theological Seminary. He is a six-time appointee to the Curatorial Advisory Board of the United States Senate, and has written for publications ranging from The New York Times to First Things. He was awarded a Commonwealth fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia, and is author most recently of The Everlasting People: G.K. Chesterton and the First Nations and Mother of the Lamb: The Story of a Global Icon.
