A Universe Away and Burning—The Life and Art of Thomas KinkadeRuss Ramsey Thomas Kinkade (1958-2012) wanted to present a more perfect world, and who doesn’t want that? But what if the brilliant light in his windows shone as it did because the house was, in fact, on fire. Wouldn’t we want the maker of that world to tell us that before we opened the door behind which the flames danced? It seems we would not. The truth of history tells us we would rather turn that world into a multi-million-dollar empire of comfort, suggesting it somehow represents the heart of Christian faith—a world that has no real need of a savior. Come hear the story as we ask the ever-important question: What have we done?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What can a Christian learn from art? What are some powerful examples of art expressing biblical truth in ways nothing else can? How can Christians gain a better perspective on art and artists?

Did you know that: · Vincent van Gogh's attempt to start an artist's colony with Paul Gauguin lasted only nine weeks, ending in his infamous "ear episode"? · Pablo Picasso was a prime suspect in the disappearance of the Mona Lisa? · Artemisia Gentileschi was tortured with thumbscrews to verify her testimony at her own rapist's trial? · Norman Rockwell's critics said his work would never be accepted as "high art"--and he agreed? These stories--and many more--shaped the work these artists left behind. In their art are lessons common to the human experience about the wonder and struggle of being alive: dreams lost, perspectives changed, and humility derived through suffering. Russ Ramsey will join us to dig into these artists' stories to mine the transcendent beauty and hard lessons we can take from their masterpieces and their lives. Each story from some of history's most celebrated artists applies the beauty of the Gospel in a way that speaks to the suffering and hope we all face.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
