The Grotesque in Church Art

This is an insightful work on church designs. The writer presents a fresh perspective on the subject by shedding light on the odd and absurd side of church art. Excerpt «The designs of which this book treats have vast fields outside the English church works to which it has been thought good to limit it. Books and buildings undoubtedly mutually interchanged some forms of their ornaments, yet the temple was the earlier repository of man's ideas expressed in art, and the proper home of the religious symbolism which forms so large a proportion of my subject.»
