  • El Greco, a Mediator of Modern Painting
    El Greco, a mediator of modern painting Estelle Alma Maré Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria E-mail: [email protected] Without clear articulation of their insights, except in painted copies of and citations from his works, various modern artist seem to have recognised that formally El Greco’s late paintings are mental con- structs, representing only a schematic version of reality. El Greco changed the communicative function of painting from commenting on reality to constituting a reality. It is proposed that modern artists in a quest for a new approach to painting found El Greco’s unprecedented manner of figural expression, extreme degree of anti-naturalism and compositional abstraction a source of inspiration. For various painters that may have been a starting point in finding a new paradigm for art that was at a loose end after the influence of disciples of the French Academy terminated. Key words: El Greco, copying and emulation, Diego Vélazquez, Francis Bacon, Gustave Courbet, Éduard Manet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, J.F. Willumsen, Oscar Kokoschka, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock El Greco, ’n medieerder van moderne skilderkuns Sonder dat hulle hul insigte duidelik geartikuleer het, behalwe in geskilderde kopieë van en aanhalings uit sy werke, het verskeie moderne kunstenaars blykbaar tot die insig geraak dat El Greco se latere skilderye denkkonstrukte is wat ’n geskematiseerde weergawe van die werklikheid verteenwoordig. Daar word betoog dat moderne kunstenaars op soek na ’n nuwe benadering tot die skilderkuns in El Greco se buitengewone wyse van figuurvoorstelling, anti-naturalisme en komposisionele abstraksie ’n bron van inspirasie gevind het. Vir verskeie kunstenaars was dit waarskynlik ’n aanknopingspunt vir die verwesenliking van ‘n nuwe paradigma vir kuns wat koers verloor het nadat die invloed van die dissipels van die Franse Akademie geëindig het.

  • The Symbolism of Blood in Two Masterpieces of the Early Italian Baroque Art
    The Symbolism of blood in two masterpieces of the early Italian Baroque art Angelo Lo Conte Throughout history, blood has been associated with countless meanings, encompassing life and death, power and pride, love and hate, fear and sacrifice. In the early Baroque, thanks to the realistic mi of Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi, blood was transformed into a new medium, whose powerful symbolism demolished the conformed traditions of Mannerism, leading art into a new expressive era. Bearer of macabre premonitions, blood is the exclamation mark in two of the most outstanding masterpieces of the early Italian Seicento: Caravaggio's Beheading a/the Baptist (1608)' (fig. 1) and Artemisia Gentileschi's Judith beheading Halo/ernes (1611-12)2 (fig. 2), in which two emblematic events of the Christian tradition are interpreted as a representation of personal memories and fears, generating a powerful spiral of emotions which constantly swirls between fiction and reality. Through this paper I propose that both Caravaggio and Aliemisia adopted blood as a symbolic representation of their own life-stories, understanding it as a vehicle to express intense emotions of fear and revenge. Seen under this perspective, the red fluid results as a powerful and dramatic weapon used to shock the viewer and, at the same time, express an intimate and anguished condition of pain. This so-called Caravaggio, The Beheading of the Baptist, 1608, Co-Cathedral of Saint John, Oratory of Saint John, Valletta, Malta. 2 Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith beheading Halafernes, 1612-13, Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples. llO Angelo La Conte 'terrible naturalism'3 symbolically demarks the transition from late Mannerism to early Baroque, introducing art to a new era in which emotions and illusion prevail on rigid and controlled representation.

  • Tyniec-Olsztyn Listopad 2018
    Nr 90 (136) Tyniec-Olsztyn listopad 2018 Pytanie: Proszę cię Ojcze, powiedz mi, jak uzyskuje się pokorę albo modlitwę doskonałą. Co powinien czynić ten, kto wydaje się ulegać rozproszeniom? Czy wypada szukać pomocy w lekturze? Odpowiedź: Jeśli chodzi, bracie, o nabycie doskonałej pokory, pouczył o tym Pan słowami: Uczcie się ode Mnie, bo jestem cichy i pokorny sercem, a znajdziecie ukoje- nie dla dusz waszych (Mt 11,29). Skoro zatem pragniesz osiągnąć doskonały pokój, ucz się tego, co On zniósł i znosi. We wszystkim też porzuć swoją wolę, On bowiem powiedział: Z nieba zstąpiłem nie po to, aby pełnić swoją wolę, ale wolę Ojca mego, który jest w niebie (J 6,38; Mt 6,9). Na tym polega doskonała po- kora: znosić zniewagi i obelgi oraz to wszystko, co wycierpiał nasz Nauczy- ciel, Jezus. Doskonała modlitwa natomiast polega na tym, aby mówić do Boga bez za- mętu oraz skupiać wszystkie myśli i uczucia, by nie ulegały rozproszeniu. Aby jednak do tego dojść, należy umrzeć dla każdego człowieka i dla świata oraz dla wszystkiego, co w nim jest. Na modlitwie nie powinieneś mówić do Boga nic więcej nad to: Wybaw mnie od Złego. Niech się spełni wola Twoja wobec mnie (Mt 6,13.10). Myśl twoja niech będzie obecna przed Bogiem i niech pozostaje na rozmowie z Nim. Modlitwa ma miejsce wtedy, kiedy oddala się od rozproszeń i gdy widzisz, że umysł raduje się, oświecony w Panu. Znakiem, że ktoś osiągnął taki stan, jest to, że nie ulega zamętom i rozproszeniom, choćby kusił go cały świat. Do- skonale modli się ten, kto umarł dla świata i jego spraw.
