Bereaving Beauty

Summary/Abstract: Beauty as an essential part of artistic expression has largely disappeared from the visual artist’s concerns, being viewed with suspicion, being confused with kitsch, an anachronistic sweetness. If one of the historical aims of the artist was to educate his audience in the mysteries of spirituality, today art has forgotten its Judeo-Christian origin, declaring it undesirable. In this context, a number of local artists have returned to the Christian theme and do not shy away from the classic canons of beauty, while having an innovative contemporary expressiveness.
