I've appreciated American folk art before and I wonder if this is a possible orthodox way to merge east and west. Byzantine art and chant can be a little off-putting at first because it is foreign to us. Gregorian Chant doesn't do the same for me as this Beuronese art does though. Byzantine chant, which I'm warming up to, seems more (I hesitate to say) masculine and robust. It offers a strong support. The art seems neither masculine or feminine, but angelic and peaceful. Hmmm.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the education!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-22244343188220473942009-02-03T17:07:00.000-06:002009-02-03T17:07:00.000-06:00Glad you liked it guys!Justin> I agree that it ...Glad you liked it guys!<BR/><BR/>Justin> I agree that it isn't 'flawed', and I'm not sure what that guy thinks the 'flaw' is, precisely. I suspect it's just another example of contemporary Catholic traditionalists being far too influenced by the Renaissance and Counter-Reformation. The Beuronese is probably too 'primitive' for him.<BR/><BR/>Kevin> Did you see my example of a post-Vatican II church?

I wouldn't say it is a "flawed" expression as the site says, as the art at Beuro does convey a transcendent quality, and it was born from a sincere desire to glorify God. Any 'flaws' could have been worked out by maintaining and perpetuating that school of art. There is a harmony in that the detail doesn't draw attention to itself but almost forces one to use peripheral vision in order to view the whole of the church at once. Also from the site:<BR/><BR/><I>This is why the relationship between Beuronese art and the simultaneous revival of the pure music of Gregorian chant was so compelling...</I>Pintradexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929825475088562246noreply@blogger.com
