TOWARDS THE LIGHT Engelhardt Danish Church Artist Spiritual Coffee Table Book

Ever since Christianity took over the political and cultural scene in Rome, the outstanding artists who worked with church art have often asked themselves the following question: How is it possible to visualise the sacred, the paradox of faith, the Trinity, the resurrection of the flesh, the coming of the Holy Spirit and life eternal? Especially artists who have instituted new departures in church art have had a sharp eye to the difficulty of capturing the Divine in a precise portrayal of a human figure or through other images of the world that we have always fought to rule and control. Many of the solutions to the artistic interpretation of the Sacred and the Divine serve to throw new light on Maja Lisa Engelhardt's church art and her representations of the Sacred and the Divine. In her church art, Maja Lisa Engelhardt has never copied visible things. She has, on the other hand, worked on what Paul Klee calls "making visible what has been secretly revealed." Her works in the various Danish churches are infused with an aspiration to make the Divine presence felt - not only in the actual embellishments, but also in the entire body of the church.
