Anneke Kaai Reihenfolge der Bücher

Artistieke verbeeldingen van een aantal kernbegrippen uit de christelijke geloofsleer.

In every generation, the book of Psalms has inspired artists and musicians, and comforted and thrilled ordinary readers. These ancient poems seem to be timeless - with amazing insight and accuracy they express the wide range of human emotions often experienced in secret, of hurts and baffling doubts, of deep joys and soaring hope.This publication combines the talents of two artists, from different continents and cultural contexts, who express their personal encounter with the words of the Psalms. Using vibrant acrylics on Plexiglas, the Dutch artist Anneke Kaai applies paintbrush and collage techniques to give ?body? to her experience of the Psalms; the verses that inspired her paintings appear alongside, taken from The Message by Eugene H. Peterson. Peterson?s paraphrase is a moving expression of the cutting reality of the ancient Hebrew poetry.

The artist writes in her "This book features two series of twenty-four paintings, twelve on the Ten Commandments and twelve on The Creed... I have visualised these well-known words, so often part of the worship liturgy in many churches, to present them to you afresh... The Ten Commandments were given by God to Moses and the people of Israel on Mount Sinai. They are central to the Old Testament, indeed to the whole Bible. Through these paintings I have tried to show their universal relevance... The Creed summarised the faith of the young church. Confessed through the ages, never divided or replaced, it was inspired by God, an inspiration I experienced in making this series of paintings to show the expressiveness of the Creed."Accompanied by Taylor's sensitive and allusive verse.
