In
relation to fire equating to the soul in Greek terminology
and in Greek mythological belief, the idea of Original sin,
being made in Gods likeness, the idea of some people being
tortured those people who are very impassioned Souls, and
the idea of passion being equated to fly far fire, and soul,
the idea of being created in God's image for some relates
to free will agents to others it is in the spiritual sense
that we are created in his likeness, the likeness of the
spiritual, which would include free will, free will agent,
so in the idea that in the fall man became aware of his
body, here is a theory, that the spirit inside the body
s are not fully alive with life and those who are alive
with life are usually called soulful those who feel deeply
are considered impassioned, and express deeply, live deeply,
and are fully animated, they're called very passionate people.
These people are also said to have fire in them, and a fire
in their eye, fire in their heart-makes me of the myth of
Prometheus and his wanting to put fire into the body of
his sculptures to give them soul or life. The idea: Prometheus
as a sculptor, sculpted bodies out of clay, wanted to make
them more life like - stole fire from the gods, to put into
his sculptures so they would become fully animated with
life. The Greek idea being that fire equates to Soul. The
gods punished Prometheus for taking this life fire. Maybe
the idea is for people to be less passion and more disciplined.
More disciplined in regard to earthly appetites than to
be in tune to these desires and these appetites that create
a fire that burns. Which makes the soul more fully to exploring
and expressing, devouring without control. Bodies aren't
made to consume such input without being consumed and used
up. Something to play with... Notice that often those who
are truly impassioned are very tortured people. They have
a heard time relating to areas of control and to people
who don't have that fire. Notice how often those people
with fire are often sought out by others who don't have
the fire and held up to be emulated and made heroes of by
those others who dare not cross the line. These thoughts
are only fragmentary and extraordinarily sketchy.
The
Freedom Art Project at first glance is not considered to
be a formalist codification of art, it is not necessarily
art for art's sake. However it does contain some elements
of formalism. Inside and the are of the Cross itself, where
the art is allowed to be free to be accidental, where accidents
are allowed to happen, and creations are expected to be
explored, where direction changes and experimental forms
of expression happen. The actual didactic nature of the
work itself and the overall theme is not formalist. However
certain aspects of that technique and of the production
technique does attach itself to formalism or art for art's
sake. See page 14 of the art history book, art across time.
Because it emphasizes content over form the works are probably
better defined as iconographic. The entire Freedom Art Project
would b considered iconological. The individual pieces would
be icons referring to the text from each book.
