A distinction needs to be drawn between Christian art and the Christian view of art. Attitudes to art largely reflect attitudes towards the relationship between the divine and human: one model portrays humanity as 'inferior' to God whereas the other considers this to be a category error bordering on idolatry and looks at incarnational humanity as fundamentally creative. Although much art is necessarily concerned with love and death, a large corpus deals with suffering; and for this reason we should occasionally rejoice.
