When did art stop being important to evangelical Christians?The short answer is, whenever prudery became the principal Christian aesthetic. Ask yourself: would Thomas Kinkade ever paint a nude?
How did we go from Rembrandt to Kincaid [sic]?
When did our appreciation of a work of art become based on how it matched the colors in our living room carpet?
(As an aside, I briefly discuss the political ramifications of schmaltzy art here.)
