Trade Review
"[Dillenberger] provides a fresh outlook that connects [Picasso] to the spiritual upbringing in his childhood and the classical past world of art." Library Journal "... a powerful study... Dillenberger argues powerfully that Picasso, too, was in his best works searching to express the presence of transcendence in the here and now, seeking 'some other realm of feeling and thought where he, too, despite his profession of atheism, could take part in the Christian drama as it unfolded under his own hand'." -- Charles Pickstone Art & Christianity Enquiry
