# Art and Iconography in Back to Methuselah

> Theme guide for Back to Methuselah by George Bernard Shaw.

The book argues that great art is inseparable from a living religion, and that without a vital faith, art becomes imitative and sterile. Shaw sees Creative Evolution as a source for new artistic inspiration and a new iconography for the modern age.
