“In 1460, a monk, Leonardo da Pistoia, arrived in Florence from Macedonia with a Greek manuscript. … [and] this particular manuscript contained a copy of the Corpus Hermeticum. Gleaning something of its mystical cosmology, the elderly Cosimo [Medici] was convinced that the Hermetica represented a very ancient source of divine revelation and wisdom. In 1463, Cosimo told Ficino to translate the Hermetica before continuing his translation of Plato.”

This recovery of spiritual texts hidden from the Church became the philisophical foundation of the Western Renaissance focusing on the dignity of the human being and the divine spark within each of us.

“Henein tries to explain the objectives of surrealism succinctly as the liberation that can be achieved in the quest to find the point of breakdown for all the repressive regimes of binary segregation upon which the everyday tyrannies of the “real” world are built: mind from body, thought from action, consciousness from the unconscious, perception from representation, work from play, humans from nature, male from female, child from adult, time from space, psychic life from social life, popular from elite, dream from waking life, and so on.”

hey real quick can anybody help me find this image that I’ve seen before here on tumblr. it looks like this

the button doesn’t necessarily say “Elucidate the Rapture” but it does say something that’s kind of lengthy and has religious connotations. the woman pushing the button has an expression of indescribable smugness. there might be other buttons on the machine (?) she is pressing.

HANS BALDUNG: MATER DOLOROSA, ABOUT 1516, MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BUDAPEST. As if painted by Matthias Grünewald. This Mother Dolorosa is the purest example that these two artists were standing not so far away from each other. And, as I read, they both broke down in a deep depression after finishing every single painting, knocked to the ground by the power of their own work. ( Source:Dürer, London, Sirrocco, 2013.)
