Faith

Abstract

Faith is a subject that has shaped the art world in Britain for as long as it has existed. The walls of Tate's galleries exhibit paintings like John Martin's The Last Judgement and The Great Day of His Wrath -- both dramatic scenes that foretell apocalyptic destruction and biblical catastrophe. But faith can also exist in the small tender glimpses of hope, of love and joy. Responding to works in Britain's national collection of art, from Frank Holl to Agostino Brunias, Look Again: Faith is a powerful meditation on the presence and meaning of belief in art.
