サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode of Arts Express, UK Desk host Jack Clarke interviews theologian, writer, and arts advocate Wesley Vander Lugt. With a PhD in Theology, Imagination, and the Arts from the University of St. Andrews, Wes brings his unique perspective to the table, exploring the deep intersections of art, faith, and social commentary. The discussion centres around Wes’s latest book, A Prophet in the Darkness: Georges Rouault and the Power of Modern Art, which delves into the life and work of French artist Georges Rouault.
Together, Jack and Wes unpack how Rouault’s bold depictions of marginalized figures, like clowns and prostitutes, challenge our modern understanding of dignity, sin, and redemption. Wes also reflects on Rouault’s prophetic vision and how his art still speaks powerfully to contemporary audiences.
