ART OF ICONOGRAPHY NOT LOOKING FOR PERFECTION


Theotokos "Parakleksis" (intercession and supplication),
Constantinople
In its own value symbol, the icon is beyond art, but also explains. We can admire without reservation the works of great masters of all ages and make the summit of art. The icon will be held a little apart, as the Bible will be placed on top of literature and poetry universal. With few exceptions, the art itself will always be more perfect than formal art iconographers because it precisely does not seek perfection. Would undermine its very excess icon, might decenter the inner eye of the revelation of the mystery, like poetry excessive and sought to undermine the power of the biblical . The beauty of an icon in a hierarchical balance of extreme need. Below a certain limit and immediately, it is more than just drawing; above and following the contemplative genius of iconography, the icon itself and radiates imposes strict compliance with its beauty subject.

Paul Evdokimov, 1901-1970, an Orthodox theologian in
