    I’m a Mexican Catholic artist. Our tradition here in my country is almost the opposite from our Orthodox brothers and sisters in terms of our approach to sacred spaces and art, (we tend towards a more folk and sentimental vision of the sacred). While I have a profound love for my cultural roots, I can’t help admiring Orthodox Christians’ conscientious preservation of tradition and intellectuality in their art and liturgy. This video here is literally what I have been itching for in regards to my vocation and these men here are what I wish to be in life. Thank you so so much for this. (Also, I owe Jonathan Pageau the discovery of my vocation. God bless him)

    An interesting thing here is that western rennaissance artists and those after until the 19th century didnt use the likeness of their models, but idealized forms. Likness only shows up in portraiture and in many artists of that period not very well. Perhaps only a few possessed such a keen eye such as Holbein and many northern artists. Though what confusingly gets considered as a likeness in western art is the naturalness of form which is idealized into a person that is a non specific human (not sure of a specific term for this) one that did not look like the model itself. The model functioned to understand how the abstract elements functions under light, that is color, form, shape, etc.. the artists changed anything that was considered not ideal to type like an iconographer. Changing elements to meet criteria, like modern icons of saints we have actual photographs of the paintings are reductive and stylize or idealize natural forms into the post 1950s byzantine style, western artists were doing the same thing but idealizing nevertheless remaining away from the models likeness.

    14:04 the black patinated iron chandeliers are great! 20:45 Andrew Gould hit the nail on its head: the kitsch of contemporary catholic art is beyond belief, and so is the sentimentality and bad taste of a lot of evangelical music. I would add to that the Jehovah Witnesses magazines, with their illustrations. And the horrid intellectualisation of atonal music and a lot of contemporary "art". The polarisation of everyone revealed through their taste. I only disagree that this divide can be bridged by orthodox art. From my experience, it doesn't bridge between polar opposites.

    I put up a comment but I acted like a coward and removed it. I don't want to be a coward so here it is again even more explicit than before. Andrew Gould is openly proclaiming perrenial philososophy in this panel. This same philosophical position was adopted by Rome in Vatican 2. We don't need innovation in the Church. I see this as a Trojan horse. It starts by innovation of icons, then liturgy follows, then ecclesiology, then the faith itself is swept away to make way for the universal religion of Antichrist. A Christ who is the brother of man. The Christ of the Doobie Brothers' "Jesus is just alright". I oppose this ideology. It is a distortion of the faith of the Apostles.

    • @jairiske

      I understand your position, but they do discuss this constant play between petrification and innovation concerning the art of the church in this recording. I would recommend Jonathan Pageau's video "Sacred Art in Secular Terms" because in the beginning of the lecture he discusses current liturgical artists across Orthodox countries and how they are working with this play. If you want to better understand Andrew Gould's thoughts on the topic, St. Vladimir's Seminary has a podcast called Luminous where they discuss Sacred Art and Andrew Gould came on as a guest a few months ago. I think it should be stated that Andrew Gould isn't advocating innovation for innovation's sake and it's rather ridiculous to lump his work into the same category as the hippie Jesus of modern evangelical circles or the radical innovation of Vatican II.
