ART: The Renaissance. Picasso and Mailer. Postmodernism. Atelier.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!More than a year ago, when I posted the Beauty episode, I said an episode on Art was on the way. Like I tell my wife, I always follow through with my promises; I don’t have to be reminded every six months.Today we discuss whether Renaissance artists actually accomplished anything for Jesus; whether Picasso was a brilliant master or a self-involved egomaniac (I vote for both); how postmodernists are lying to us about great art; and why simply collecting paint won’t make you a great painter. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.
