| Summary: | This essay explores ways in which William James's appreciation for art finds expression in his psychology of religion. Portraiture art reveals his perception of his distance from his religious subjects, whereas landscape art reveals his personal appropriation of religion and self-identification with the religiously-minded. Furthermore, landscape art draws attention to the feminine, even maternal aspect of religion, the aspect to which James was especially receptive. |
