The Relationship between Text and Image in the Biblical Parables

Author(s): Ilie Melniciuc-Puică / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

Most of the time, except for the case of the Saviour Christ, Old Testament hagiographers limit themselves to using cryptic speech in such a way that the listener understands without going on to explain this somewhat coded language to the listener. Of the hagiographers, the proper prophets not only spoke in parables, but accompanied their words with symbolic acts. In the parable of Jotham, the symbols of the olive tree, the fig tree and the vine became both representatives of fruitful service and symbols of ancient Israel in relation to IHWH. The New Testament parables provide readings on the fruitfulness of the tree, also on fruitfulness in the case of Jesus the Saviour (Lk 13 about the fig tree and Mt 20-21 about the perfect vine of John 15). This study deals with the image of the text in the manuscript and in the fresco painted on the wall of the Sucevita monastery. As an inspired author, the ecclesiastical painter seeks forms of education through images, following verified models in line with the biblical text and Church teaching.

Research and Conservation of the “Mandylion” Icon of Ciolpani Monastery, Romania

Author(s): IULIANA COJOACĂ,MINA MOȘNEAGU / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

The “Mandylion” icon belongs to Ciolpani Monastery in Bacău County, Romania. It is part of the central iconostasis of “Saint Nicholas” wooden church. The painting renders the countenance of Jesus Christ, inspired by the image of Edessa, on a white napkin, visible against the blue background. The icon was painted using the tempera technique on wooden support. The pictorial layer consists of a gypsum-based ground layer, color and varnish layers. The halo was made with a gold leaf, in the traditional technique, on bole with glue. The painting technique and stylistic manner indicate that the icon was painted in a Moldavian workshop, in a post-Byzantine style, with Ruthenian influences, in the second half of the eighteenth century. Following physical and chemical investigations, extensive over-paintings were revealed that changed the appearance of the original painting. The conservation-restoration operations aimed at removing over-paintings and subsequent inappropriate fillings, after which the lacunar areas were completed by grouting and chromatic integration, by tratteggio methods and in a pointillist style.

Author(s): Oğuz Yurttadur,Tuğba Bayrakdar,Aylin Gürbüz / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2022

Paintings have a great place in having an idea about children. Art education not only guides us in understanding the emotions and thoughts of children, but also gives us information about the world of imagination. Differentiating pictures in each age group, the ability to draw pictures and recognize reality in children in the 6-12 grouping period develops depending on physiological characteristics. Accordingly, color perception, noticing color and distinguishing from each other are clearly seen. As the child's age grows, color preferences of children also differ according to age. Although the child in the grouping period realizes the reality and the environment, he uses the colors of his own imagination in terms of color preferences. The main purpose of this research is to examine the effects of Henri Matisse's work on the paintings of 4th grade primary school students in terms of color, and to evaluate which colors the students will choose when the black and white version of an artist's work is reflected among the students in the 9-12 age group in the grouping period. In the research, Henri Matisse's "Great Red Interior" was chosen in terms of color preferences and presented to the students in black and white before the application. The colors chosen by the students in their paintings; It was evaluated by comparing age, gender and students in different schools in the same age group. The method of this research is experimental model and the study group was handled in 2 separate groups. In the 1st group in the experimental groups, 40 minutes of lecture was given to 16 people, and in the 2nd group, which was the control group, the color preferences of 19 students were examined without giving any lectures. The study group of this research consists of 4th grade students studying in Kemal Yener Primary School in Sapanca district of Sakarya province in the 2021-2022 academic year and 4th grade students in Sapanca Primary School. A total of 35 students, 21 of whom were girls and 14 of whom were boys, were applied to the study group.

İNFOGRAFİK TASARIMINDA GESTALT İLKELERİ: DİYABET İNFOGRAFİKLERİ ÖRNEĞİ

Author(s): Banu Önder,Merve Ersan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2023

The convergence of the concepts of information and graphics gives rise to the infographic, a graphic design product that effectively presents information in a concise manner. Through the transformation of information into a graphic product with design considerations, it becomes possible to visually analyze or interpret data, events, and situations across diverse subjects. This process involves the systematic handling of extensive volumes of data, resulting in the creation of presentations that are both impactful and easily comprehensible. Given the primary purpose of infographics being the transmission of information, it necessitates an increased attention to specific rules within the context of graphic design. The foundational underpinning for creating an effective infographic lies in the principles of Gestalt. In this research, infographics centered around diabetes, produced by the Turkish Ministry of Health and the Anadolu Agency, have been subject to examination and subsequent analysis in line with the principles of Gestalt. The conducted examination reveals that while both institutions display an adherence to Gestalt principles in the infographics they have designed, notable differences between them have been discerned. Shared Gestalt principles evident across all infographics include simplicity, similarity, figure-ground relationship, and proximity. Simplicity manifests both in the page layout of the infographics and the icons employed within them. The principle of proximity facilitates the grouping of similar types of information in the infographics, enhancing the perception of related information as a cohesive whole. The principle of similarity, manifested through color resemblance, shape similarity, directional similarity, and typographic resemblance, contributes to the visual arrangement of the infographics. The balance type used in the infographics varies, with a preference for asymmetric balance predominantly chosen to imbue the page with dynamism. It is apparent that all these principles offer utility in the context of information visualization. In conclusion, the diabetes-focused infographics created by the Turkish Ministry of Health and the Anadolu Agency adeptly employ the principles of Gestalt to present comprehensive and dense information content in a straightforward, clear, and effective manner. These infographics facilitate ease of comprehension and retention, aligning with the objectives of Gestalt principles.

Author(s): Gültekin Akengin,Ahmet Futtu / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2023

Like all developments throughout history, typography owes its development to experimentation. Experimental studies on the discipline of writing have brought typography to the present day. What will carry it to the future will be experimental studies. Experimental studies have opened the door to new forms of expression. One of these forms of expression is the work produced on the basis of modules. Although modular typography is diversified with different methods, the type discussed in this article is modular studies with unit repetition. Experimental studies that developed by different designers and design studios for the projects are presented to the reader. The module-based typographic studies used in these works were examined and the ability and effect of modular typography in conveying messages were questioned. In the light of the results obtained, answers were sought to the questions of diversity in the selected modules, compatibility between the module and the written word or words, and the contribution of different module trials to the practice. The research was supported by a literature review. The importance of the research is that the existence of modular typography among experimental typography works becomes evident, that it is noticed by more designers who are interested in typography, and that modular typography is encouraged to be tried by designers and design students.

Фолклорни образи в изкуството на българския символизъм. Типология и визуални характеристики

Author(s): Ivo Raykov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 2/2023

Bulgarian fine arts from the first three decades of the 20th century have an extremely diverse character. With the appearance of different styles on the Bulgarian art scene, artists have often been wandering between the national idea and foreign art. On the one hand, the Bulgarian artists, who had studied abroad and felt the true nature of symbolist art, wanted to speak in its universal language of the themes, but on the other hand, they wanted to emphasize their native and cultural affiliation which distinguishes them from the other nations. A significant part of the artists participating in the Native Art movement recognized symbolism as an appropriate artistic language for the visualization of Bulgarian folk songs and myths. With the establishment of the Native Art artistic society in 1919, a new chapter in the country’s cultural life began. It gave a safe haven to many different creative personalities, all of whom united by the main motive of searching for characteristics of the “native.“ Paintings of nymphs, mermaids, dragons, vampires, monsters, witches, and other images from the folklore tradition began to appear more and more often on the walls of art galleries. The Bulgarian artist became more interested in the authentic folklore of his/her nation as a true source of inspiration. This article aims to examine various source materials (songs, legends, fairy tales) and to systematize and present the main mythological creatures from Bulgarian folklore, which finds its visual form in the works of Bulgarian artists from the first three decades of the 20th century.

GRAFİK TASARIMIN GELECEĞİ (YAPAY ZEKA)

Author(s): Abdulkadir Özdemir,Mustafa GÜNAY / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 60/2023

The future of graphic design is being shaped by the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. This transformation offers designers new tools, processes, and creative possibilities. AI proves to be influential in many aspects of graphic design. AI can accelerate and automate design processes. Designers can efficiently perform repetitive tasks through AI-based tools, shortening project timelines and providing more creative freedom. By offering insights, AI can inspire designers. Big data analysis and learning algorithms can be employed to understand trends and user behaviors. Consequently, designers can deliver more effective and original designs tailored to their target audiences. AI has the potential to support personalized designs. Analyzing user data allows AI systems to generate designs tailored to individual preferences, opening up new possibilities for marketers and brands to offer customer-focused content. Basic design elements such as color selection, composition arrangement, and even text writing can be automated by AI algorithms. This allows designers to focus more on creative and strategic aspects of their work. However, along with the advantages of this transformation, some concerns may arise. The widespread adoption of AI in design could diminish the value of human touch and creativity. Additionally, careful consideration is needed regarding ethical issues and copyright concerns. AI is initiating a revolutionary change in the field of graphic design. By integrating these technologies into their creative processes, designers can produce more effective, efficient, and personalized designs. Yet, in this process, ethical responsibilities and the importance of human touch should not be overlooked. The integration of AI into graphic design symbolizes the beginning of a new era in the industry.

„Ръководство за начинаещия иконописец“ на Николай Шелехов

Author(s): Teodora Nakova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 3/2023

The article analyzes a beginner’s guide to icon painting, written by the 20th-century iconographer Nikolai Shelekhov in Germany in 1965. It contains important advice, recipes for the ancient technique of icon painting, and also moral rules concerning the iconographer. By studying the guide above, one may conclude that the author possessed great professional skills and a sense of proportion and beauty. The work gives a more complete idea of the manner and techniques of iconography, as well as of the goals set before painting the icon. “Usually, technique is given the last place, being considered a matter of some special artistic cuisine, an extremely uninteresting and boring matter. This is one of the most ossified, deep and sad misunderstandings, because the technique is not only a random way of expressing the thoughts and feelings of the artist, but often a guiding, even decisive moment in creativity” (I. E. Grabar).

Author(s): Naci Edi / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 60/2023

Sculpture art; It has survived as a means of expression of power and aesthetics since the dawn of humankind. Although it has changed over time, it remained bound to certain patterns until the 19th century, when Mythos and Logos intersected. However, along with modern art, sculpture art has continued its existence with unlimited spaces, applications and a wide variety of materials. This change and development, which has continued since the 20th century, has revealed different designs and applications with different understandings in the works produced. One of these changes is ephemeral art. Sculpture art, which is in the group of plastic arts, has also had its share of this situation. In addition to the use of natural materials, instant (performance) applications or artistic activities such as Land - art have made itself felt from the second half of the XX century. In this study, the historical process and application areas of snow and ice sculptures within the framework of ephemeral art, especially in plastic arts, will be investigated.

Author(s): Fatma Ganiyeva / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

As known from history, clay has been an integral part of early human life during pre-era period. It also served as a means of protection for prehistoric humans against unfortunate events in nature besides serving their practical purposes. They referred to the vessels covered with transparent glaze as "safol" and the ones covered with opaque glaze as "porcelain". China vessels are household elements that have existed in the material-culture history of every nation during various periods. Whether preserved in Western or Eastern state museums, the porcelain vessels demonstrate that the art of pottery has developed significantly since the early Middle Ages. Fine china is not only used as household items but are also employed in the production of various other material artifacts. Countries around the world utilize china as a means to convey their own culture.

ANʻĀM ABDULLAHA IBN SALIHA IZ GORNJEG VAKUFA: SINERGIJA SLIKE I TEKSTA U POBOŽNOJ PRAKSI

Author(s): Dželila Babović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 72/2023

Anʻām is the name for manuscript codices that contain selected surahs from the Qur’an, prayers, blessings, pictures, graphics and seals that symbolically connect their owner or reader with the God Almighty, the Prophet Muhammad and holy places and important figures of Islamic history. These codices were long thought to be intended for private and socially restricted devotional use. How-ever, the practice of enshrining them in public institutions, especially mosques and tekkes, as well as the existence of a large number of manuscript copies, shows that anʻām were very present and were used in wider social circles. In this paper, we will present the Anʻām of Abdullah ibn Salih from Gornji Vakuf, stored in the manuscript collection of the Oriental Institute of the University of Sarajevo (OIS, R 86). By compiling selected religious texts and combining them with illustrations, Abdullah ibn Salih created a work that offers an insight into pious practices in Bosnia at the end of the 18th century and documented how the prayer texts were read, used and integrated into everyday life. Using a phenomenological approach in the analysis of Abdullah ibn Salih’s Anʻām, we will point out the importance and role of text, representative images and graphics in the sacred context, and deal with their ritual use and the discovery of the hidden meanings of their empirical manifestation.

Considering the diversity and importance of cultural and historical heritage, individual heritage goods and monuments of importance for a society, its culture and identity, the paper will problematize the relationship to a kind of artistic and socio - cultural expression that records a growing tendency to become part of intangible heritage, as a testimony of one’s own and at the same time global culture and identity. The problem will be considered in a broader and narrower context, given that the Bosnian society has only been establishing a dialogue with this type of artistic expression in the last ten years. The discussion aims to encourage the profession to further reflect and analyze this topic, and to point out the problem of its deviation from graffiti and murals as contemporary art media, in order to more successfully cooperate with artists and professional critics.
