"When art tries to speak of the new world, the final world, in terms of only the present world, it collapses into sentimentality; when it speaks of the present world only in terms of its shame and horror, it collapses into brutalism. The vocation of the artist is to speak of the present as beautiful in itself but as pointing beyond itself, to enable us to see both the glory that already fills the earth and the glory that shall fill it to overflowing; to speak, within that, of the shame without ignoring the promise, to speak of the promise without forgetting the shame."

(N.T. Wright, Apocalyptic and the Beauty of God)
