Sacred Art and its Objectual Communication

Abstract

In art objects the features that evoke the essences of the ways of being of individuals socialized in a given sociocultural moment are reflected. They are essences that the artist captures in an intuitive-perceptive way and captures them in the work of art establishing a communication based on an artistic objectual language through perceptions —emotions- affections and knowledge, which will be understood by the spectators in an intuitive— mental way a posteriori, generating languages of artistic communication. In the Catholic religion the Dominican Father Couturier among other members of the clergy fought to reconcile the ideas of religious art with the artistic currents of the twentieth century, updating the artistic religious expression as well as the new architectural character respecting the Catholic religious essences.
