Icons + Art

Más información sobre el libro

An apt description of icons is windows on eternity, for by contemplating them we are given a means of understanding how all of creation is to be transformed, not at the end of history, but beginning here and now. Icons have a language of their own, a language of symbolism, colour and convention which is part of the discipline of icon painting. For Michael Galovic, icon painting is a spiritual vocation. He is a careful student of the past with a deep respect for tradition. 'Icons + Art' is a magnificent publication ... the first icon artbook featuring an Australian artist. Over 80 images are beautifully printed in full colour ... Preface by Rev. Stephen Godley (rtd) ... Foreword by Dr Guy Freeland ... Text by Rod Pattenden. Each book is meticulously handbound by master bookbinders.
