The paintings of Rembrandt... the fine churches, the music of Bach… Handel’s Messiah… all testify in this secularized age that Christianity once did mean something… Quite without realizing it, these people, the patrons, the artist and the Christians in those days, erected signs for another age that the Lord had done great things in the world.
- H.R. Rookmaaker in Art Needs No Justification
"In the
Master's Hand" Announcing the premier opening of
the "Let There Be Light" The Power of Images
Our culture knows it well…powerful leaders know it, successful
companies know it, and those who seek to influence us in all kinds
of ways, barrage us with them constantly. Images. They speak a universal
language. For good or for evil images successfully shape our thoughts
and our feelings, our actions and our attitudes. Throughout history
they always have, and they always will. New Patrons of the Christian ArtsMasterpiece Christian Fine Arts Foundation understands the power of visual images for our culture and times. We desire to be new patrons of the Christian arts, knowing that Biblical images of truth can bring others into an understanding of the love of Christ and can communicate his transforming power and forgiveness…images that can leave an impression in the viewers mind long beyond what words alone can portray…inspired works that can turn the modern tide of Biblical illiteracy and make a difference in someone’s eternity. We believe many who are indifferent or seemingly uninterested in God, who may not ever enter a church, might curiously consider the content on a canvas placed before them…Then it is our hope that God will whisper into their hearts His life changing words of eternal life. Using the Power of ImagesIn recent years, many inspired Christian artists have been producing works that tell a profound story and proclaim a powerful message. Masterpiece is working with these and other artists to continue to bring to our generation these types of impacting pieces and works. These master artists we believe are worthy of our support and encouragement so they can continue to give their gift of Christ-centered art to the world.
All artwork currently featured on our website will be part of our extraordinary traveling "Let There Be Light" exhibit during 2008/2009. |
