Fiat
| T. Lux Feininger (June 11, 1910 Berlin, Germany – July 7, 2011 Cambridge, Massachusetts) was a German-American painter, avant-garde photographer, author, and art teacher who was born in Berlin to Julia Berg and Lyonel Feininger, an American living in Germany from the age of sixteen. His father was appointed as the Master of the Printing Workingshop at the newly formed Bauhaus art school in Weimar by Walter Gropius in 1919.[1] He had two older full brothers, including Andreas Feininger . . . . — Wikipedia |

The phrase "experimental techniques" in the previous post
suggests the following words and images.
From The New York Times online this evening —
"Think 'Barton Fink' meets 'A Serious Man.'
With dancing."
Okay …
"When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies…."
"We're entering Weimar, baby."

"To every man upon this earth,
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
and the temples of his gods…?"

"Leave a space." — Tom Stoppard, "Jumpers"

Schau der Gestalt
(Continued from Aug. 19, 2014)
“Christian contemplation is the opposite
of distanced consideration of an image:
as Paul says, it is the metamorphosis of
the beholder into the image he beholds
(2 Cor 3.18), the ‘realisation’ of what the
image expresses (Newman). This is
possible only by giving up one’s own
standards and being assimilated to the
dimensions of the image.”
— Hans Urs von Balthasar,
The Glory of the Lord:
A Theological Aesthetics,
Vol. I: Seeing the Form

A Bauhaus approach to Schau der Gestalt :
I prefer the I Ching ‘s approach to the laws of cubical space.
