Tradition and Transformation in Christian Art approaches tradition
and transculturality in religious art from an Orthodox perspective
that defines tradition as a dynamic field of exchanges and
synergies between iconographic types and their variants. Relying on
a new ontology of iconographic types, it explores one of the most
significant ascetical and eschatological Christian images, the King
of Glory (Man of Sorrows). This icon of the dead-living Christ
originated in Byzantium, migrated west, and was promoted in the New
World by Franciscan and Dominican missions. Themes include tensions
between Byzantine and Latin spiritualities of penance and
salvation, the participation of the body and gender in deification,
and the theological plasticity of the Christian imaginary.
Primitivist tendencies in Christian eschatology and modernism place
avant-garde interest in New Mexican santos and Greek icons in
tradition.
