Forms of Enchantment
An anthology of compelling essays by Marina Warner, one of our pre-eminent writers and critics.
Art-writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues Marina Warner. In this new anthology of some of her most compelling work, she captures the visual experience of the work of several artists – with a notable focus on the inner lives of women – through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude. Metamorphosis features vividly in the imagery, stories and media of the art that Warner has chosen to write about: in connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, for instance; with the Catholicism of Damien Hirst; and with performance as a medium of memory and resistance in the installations of Joan Jonas.
Rather than drawing on connoisseurship, the author’s approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology. She argues that art and aesthetics increasingly fulfil a magical social function – a principle that runs through these writings to give the collection a quality that is polemical as well as coherent. With an introductory essay and illustrations throughout, Marina Warner investigates how artists noted for their treatment of disturbing, uncanny material have reached beyond the visible, to express interior states. Truly inspiring, her writing unites the imagination of artist, writer and reader, creating a reading experience parallel to the intrinsic pleasure of looking at art.
Muž obety
Výzvu radikálne prežívať evanjeliové rady začul vo svojom srdci aj hlavný hrdina knihy Muž obety Michal Augier. Pochopil, že kňazské povolanie sa nedá prežívať polovičato, lebo sa stane alebo karikatúrou, alebo predmetom pohoršenia. Svojou rozhodnosťou, presvedčivosťou a láskavou obetavosťou potvrdil slová Listu Hebrejom, ktorý možno nazvať hymnom na kňazstvo a vieru, že každý kňaz je ustanovený pre ľudí, aby ich zastupoval pred Bohom, aby prinášal dary a obety za hriechy a mohol mať súcit s nevedomými a blúdiacimi, pretože aj sám podlieha slabosti (5, 1 2). Iba srdce milujúce Boha dokáže tak nezištne a veľkoryso slúžiť človeku, ako to dokázal kňaz túžiaci po svätosti, vykreslený v tomto románe.
