During her lifetime she was a substantiated poet and has been considered the most important female voice in the poetry from Paraná, she produced a remarkable poetry and she was the precursor of determined forms in the Brazilian literary history. The religiosity as the central axis pervades Kolody s work to meet significant and deep relations toward the theme of love. In a last moment, by approaching the intrinsic relation between the poetry and the image, a parallel is traced between Helena s and the painter and poet Marc Chagall s work. The work outlines the particular way used by Helena Kolody to lead to a view of transcendence from an impossible love. / O presente estudo se dedica à obra de Helena Kolody. Poeta consubstanciada ainda em vida como a mais importante voz feminina da poesia paranaense, produziu uma poética marcante e foi precursora de determinadas formas na história literária brasileira. Tomando como eixo central a questão da religiosidade, perpassa-se a obra de Kolody encontrando relações significativas e profundas com a temática do Amor. Num último momento, abordando a relação intrínseca entre imagem e poesia, traça-se um paralelo entre a produção de Helena e a obra de Marc Chagall, o pintor-poeta. O trabalho delineia o modo particular como Helena Kolody conduziu uma visão de transcendência a partir de um amor impossível. Constatou-se que uma estrutura profundamente cristã sobressai-se no todo da obra Kolodyana.

The world is a fractured place, faceted and fascinating in variety but broken in strife. Artist Gerhard Richter, said “Art is the highest form of hope” and the thinker Martin Heidegger said that art is a “happening of truth”. Marc Chagall hoped his art connected with people’s lives and sufferings and would become infused with prayer for redemption. How does visual art (and thinking theoretically and theologically about art) contribute toward hope and truth that bring the fragments of society into personal and communal connection? This is a practice-based (or studio-led) thesis in stained glass making at the juncture of the interdisciplinary fields of visual culture and religion. Making the visual art of stained glass windows involves collaborating, selecting, breaking, combining – processes that embody the unifying of disparate pieces. There are three projects and three chapters included in this research that work cohesively to show how visual art can facilitate a shift in us to see with compassion that guides our actions to care, and the word “EidenSight” is introduced to give vocabulary to this. Research draws primarily from reflections on collaborative studio work, visual art and visual artists, aesthetic theory (especially of Heidegger’s essay “The Origin of the Work of Art”) and thinking theologically through these sources. Stained glass has been a profession of work and a profession of faith; here the ancient art is created for contemporary places and raises questions theoretically and theologically and identifies themes that contribute to an understanding of how art affects us. Over the centuries, stained glass has contributed to architecture, art history, and theological aesthetics, as well as viewers’ personal and social experiences, from ecclesial settings to public spaces. This research contributes three commissioned site-specific stained glass installations (two in the US and one for the University of Stirling’s Art Collection) that lead the written thesis which is embedded full of images and has a correlating website: www.eidensite.weebly.com. The results are visual and verbal: requirements for the practice-based thesis include a heavily documented practical element in correlation with a shorter written component (30-80,000 words). Within the limits of these parameters, this research offers completed stained glass windows and a written thesis that includes insights from those projects, plus three chapters on: the material of glass, the space of the window, and the implications of being stained and a main conclusion that ties those elements together contributing to the overall thesis question: can art help us see with compassion that leads to care. Three institutions now have an original work of art substantiated by written theory, and the submitted thesis is substantiated by works of art viewable on different continents.

He has among others in the modern period made several paintings on the theme of the Crucifixion, a particularly sensitive issue for an artist attached to his Jewish identity and practising an art with a strong autobiographical component. This dissertation examines the conditions which allowed the adoption and the development, by Chagall, of an important Christian subject whose iconography he freely revisited. Among the circumstances that facilitated the cultural hybridization in which Chagall engaged in his Crucifixion, we must point out the new freedom, both at the level of figurative devices and pictorial treatment, brought by modernism in the approach of major traditional genres to which religious painting belongs. On a quite different register, the dissertation examines the exceptional historic circumstances met by Chagall before and during the execution of the Crucifixions. These circumstances have exerted pressure that allowed the tragic experience of the Jews of the XXth century to find expression in images of universal significance.

Notre mémoire se concentre sur l'illustration de la Bible réalisée par Marc Chagall et commandée par Ambroise Vollard en 1931. Soixante-six eaux-fortes ont été tirées dans les ateliers de Maurice Potin avec sa collaboration, de 1931 à 1939. Trente-neuf autres ont été reprises et terminées dans ces mêmes ateliers avec la collaboration de Raymond Hassen, de 1952 à 1956. L'originalité de ces illustrations tient au fait de leur singularité et redevance à la tradition juive et occidentale. Le cadre de cette recherche se limite à l'étude iconographique et iconologique de ces cent-cinq illustrations. Cet examen ne concentrera toutefois pas uniquement sur les planches individuelles mais s'accomplira dans une lecture d'ensemble, avec l'objectif d'une étude de la continuité évolutive du sens. Le propos est régi par un plan thématique basé sur la chronologie même des histoires telles qu'elles sont coordonnées dans les Saintes Écritures. Trois chapitres examinent ainsi ce projet. Le premier porte sur le thème des fondateurs de la communauté juive. Le second correspond à l'histoire des Juifs nouvellement entrés en terre promise. Le troisième aborde les illustrations relatant la vie et les visions des prophètes.

This thesis covers the interpretation of life and work of Marc Chagall, jewish painter of 20th century. Goal of the thesis is to highlight symbolic motives of his work, and later on interpret those on selected pieces. The thesis is divided into four parts. First part is devoted to the life of the painter and his jewish origin, which had a significant influence on the character of his work. Second part covers the meaning of symbols in art and religon in general. Third tries to compare Chagall's conveyance with two jewish philosophers of the dialog: E. Lévinas and F. Rosenzweig. Fourth then interprets selected pieces with philosophical or religious extent. Whole thesis is based on the conception that art is able to convey messages and interpret the world around us.

ANNOTATION: The work The Mirror of Reality in the Imagery of Dreams of the 19th and 20th Centuries - Creative Individuality versus the Chaos of the Time is based on the assumption that dreams are inseparably linked to the concept of existence in human life (Michel Foucault). The study touches on the ways in which dreams are depicted in visual culture that does not coincide with chronologically organized historical events, but is an expression of a free alliance between artists in the European space and centuries of common experience. These works are generally socially critical, exposed to unimaginable pressure from public censorship. The artist must pretend it is only an innocent game, a crazy idea, a whim. At the same time, these paintings are not an expression of boundless imagination, but they are subject to the firm rules of spatial construction of the painting. This is due to the traditional delimitation of dark depths - the underworld of Virgil's Saturn myth of pre-Roman culture, alternating with the vertically felt open heavens as variants of the original Plato's The Myth of Er, which in the 20th century paintings is replaced by the idea of an open landscape with illumination on the low horizon. The work deals with the work of Albrecht Dürer, his copperplate Melancholia I (1514) and his so-called...
