French Dominican Marie-Alain Couturier d. Feb 9 1954. He turned his journal “L’Art Sacré” into a vehicle for artistic renewal. He sponsored the work of many modern artists--Rouault, Chagall, Mattisse. A church at Assy in the Swiss Alps was a lab for his ideas.

Whether such artists were Catholics was less important, he said, than that they expressed "genius. "Trusting in Providence, we told ourselves that a great artist is always a great spiritual being, each in his own manner."

The Vatican, warning against "distortions and unusual images" that can spread "dangerous error" suppressed the journal. Couturier: "Each generation must appeal to the masters of living art, and today those masters come first from secular art...there are no dead masters in art."
