The day after the conference at the UNESCO, the Italian, Brazilian and Russian OntoArte Associations organized an event on art, in which some works of the Louvre were commented on.“Conference” means being together, bringing something together. It is educational to meet in those places, which as far as a higher humanistic civility is concerned are the most important on the planet.To meet Paris’s intimacy – as it is a lady of centuries of good taste – can help us to better enter some meanings that create a higher life.When observing all the classical works, the first aspect to be considered is that they communicate a form of super-Ego to us. In fact, these works were chosen by the system of that time, which wished to exalt itself for itself and for posterity. Therefore, through education to art, the super-Ego is introduced with all its facets. Although the artist’s inner truth is not guaranteed, there are some works in which the artist communicates his/her rebellion towards the system. For example, in some works by Veronese, by the Perugia school and by Masaccio, the artist was free to express him/herself. When we observe the Russian icons – which continue the Byzantine iconography school and, then, the schools of the Italian, Germanic and French Middle Ages – we should remember that, in the 8th century A.D., there were profound wars and controversies between the Ottoman and Christian civilizations. This led to the political intervention of the Emperor of Constantinople and to the outbreak of the Iconoclast war.It was forbidden to create images concerning the sacred; only images lacking in carnality connected with the earthly sense would be accepted. It was only the great empress Irene that succeeded in bringing some calm in the 8th century A.D. The Western world is still arranged according to her laws.Therefore, behind images that we consider innocent, a lot of wars, struggles and conflicts occurred, and a great deal of blood was shed.The International OntoArte School Association’s logo is a face, which arises from a signature, which aims to show the passage from the animal principle to the spiritual evolution. The Brazilian OntoArte Association’s logo is made of a circle protected by a pyramidal hut, which Being’s eye observes. These are free symbols, which do not create any form of super-Ego, but rather are pleasant or indifferent.We should be careful with art, because through it we are psychologically marked – even as people. Any kind of sacralization, restoration, conservation or fixity to the past is always castrating our present reality. A thousand years ago, the spirit of life used to phenomenalize itself in a certain way; today, it does it in a different way. We are the active expression of it: the more each one of us reaches a perfect realization, the more she writes the spirit of life’s intention. |
