Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
For more than a thousand years, Eastern Christians have used their hands and hearts to create icons, proclaiming God's reality in a visible-and breathtakingly beautiful-way.
This ancient art is enjoying a renewed interest in the West, as people of faith create icons and use them to meditate on mysteries for which there are no words. A Brush with God is a guide to painting icons and using them in prayer.
Written with warmth and energy, it describes the history of icons and examines why they've been a spiritual tool for so many centuries.
Written from a uniquely Western perspective, the book guides artists-from novices to professionals-through the process of icon painting, using traditional techniques but employing contemporary materials.
Included are eight full-color plates of the artist's icons.
