Next Week Easter Will Be Celebrated in the East by Greek Catholics and Orthodox Christians.

Strength Mystery play "Flowing" straight from the flowing blood guards can be somewhere in the area of Bachmut media spectacular. In fact, in Atlas Sztuki we want to deal with such paintings "from the holiday". The action of the Christmas image - the icon - is contained in the last word of the fifth verse of the sixteenth chapter of the oldest Gospel of Mark.  

It should be a strong, direct, amazing action, completely changing the situation. 

Certainly not falling into the register of what is related only to appearance or aesthetics.

Media scholars write about a cyclically recurring crisis of trust towards new media and shifting attention in search of another, "better" one. Blood is a very old medium, not as attractive as it is said to be. Eloquentia sanguinans In Tacitus means: greedy of blood, not eloquent, or Eloquent. It would be Beautiful, If in a year somewhere in the eastern mud appeared instead of blood rituals Filipino Puso-puso Hiding little girls pretending to be an angel, revealing that there is no death and you can already pour flowers and confetti.

That's all about the paintings. Most of the features listed here are very desirable in art and its reception. Unfortunately, we do not have Hermeneia Telling how to achieve a given effect. 

The original version of the Gospel ended with the same accent of fear, in the face of something that could not be understood. It ended with verse eight. This is a strange ending conscientiously telling about a rather unreasonable expedition of naive "women" to the grave closed with a boulder. So a project that may be right, but in vain. It's still weirder. Further, i.e. after entering. In the fourth verse, those interested in looking should pay attention to the phrase: καὶ ἀναβλέψασαι θεωροῦσιν (Kai anablepsasai theorousin). Theorousin Is from Θεωρέω (2334 theóreó), meaning: to see, to see. These are all the simplest examples of what we call: theory (for Latin: Contemplatio) and which begins with a sight that "sees something", which makes reason aware of the existence of something. Anablepsasai (From: Ἀναβλέπω 308. Anablepó: look, look at, look up, raise your eyes {characteristic feature Vuls sacer}, review, regain sight) is preceded by communicating with reason Theoreo A more direct, more physical, simplest, closer to the reflex act: A glance. 

You can try to translate this verse: "when they glanced, they saw", or even more fabulously: "suddenly, when they glanced, they saw...". 

This is how the icon should work: when we look at it, we will see, we will realize that it is different than we thought. Our theories so far are outdated after this glance. And at the same time It turns out, That we can go further, deeper. We can take a risk and find ourselves in a place not intended for the living. This is the limit moment, we are inside the horizon of the picture. In an unclear situation. And then – according to the Evangelist – the conversation begins, someone (who looks like an ordinary young man: Νεανίσκον, 3495 Neaniscon) explains the situation to us. Someone (Persona Dressed in white) says to us (simply, specifically, briefly): Μὴἐκθαμβεῖσθε·Me ekthambeisthe (Again since 1568. Ecthambeó):Don't be afraid!

Cool, in fact, we are where we wanted to go and some unknown Circle He just tells us that everything is fine, but... We still have to wait, everything will be clear, but not here, not now. 

Verse eight is clearly misogynistic, the Evangelist returns to what is understandable, in the world of the living (once upon a time in Palestine).   

We know a lot of paintings Three Marys at the Grave. Please look for the performances Three Marys in the Tomb. Of course. Black Square Doesn't count. Although this is, without a doubt, a great icon.
