Place of Artistic Creativity in the life of the Church: the Perspective of the Iconic, Theological and Philosophical Works of Nun Joanna (Reitlinger) (1898–1988)
Abstract
On the basis of the creative heritage of the nun Joanna (Reitlinger), the article discusses the problem of artistic creativity in the Church: questions of the artistic basis of the iconography, the influence of personal faith and the experience of communion with God on the arts, a link to the artist-icon painter with the revelation about God and man. In connection with the rebirth of the mission and of the worship of the dialogue with the society, restoration of destroyed churches and the construction of new issue of church art turns out to be significant for the church and society.
