Bergman: art and worship
Commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, 1750
Meditation:
All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,and all your saints shall bless you!They shall speak of the glory of your kingdomand tell of your power...—Psalm 145:10-11 (ESV)
Quotation:
It is my opinion that art lost its basic creative drive the moment it was separated from worship. It severed an umbilical cord... In former days the artist remained unknown and his work was to the glory of God...Today the individual has become the highest form and the greatest bane of artistic creation.... Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007), The Seventh Seal, Lorrimer, 1984, introduction, p. 8
(see the book)See also Ps. 145:10-11; Rom. 1:20-21; Gal. 6:3; 1 Pet. 2:4-5
Quiet time reflection:All beauty is Your beauty, O Lord.
