In various Protestant denominations (particularly in the Evangelical Church in Germany) the demand for the formation of artistic competence has been growing since the mid 20th century. The celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in Germany in 2017 contributed to a new round of discussion of this issue. Luther's attitude to artistic images has been reevaluated. Interconnectedness of the word and image in the process of religious communication has been emphasized. The autonomy of art and freedom of creative expression of an artist in the dialogue with religion (in the form of exhibitions, installations in churches, etc.) has been recognized.
