If I understood correctly Art-lover, you can compare the "misunderstanding" Art of "immersion" in the Kabbalah.

Immersion in art and Kabbalah - yet so diverse musical processes that they are not compatible. In this respect it is interesting to hear the views of the young man in a hat, dancing to the pictures, kindly provided by the LCR in a report to recent exhibition of Russian artists in Paris:

If anyone knows Bruj comes from Peter, and he was the first artist officially relocated from Russia to Israel (at 1970m). So, in interview with Nezavisimaya Gazeta (2005), he recalls:
"For two years I had a special Kabbalistic regime in the studio in the House of political prisoners, twice a week, I was starving in the strictest austerity and saw the devil knows what, no drugs do not!" These few years also contributed greatly to my work, there was a tendency to go for the devil in the mirror. ... I did not want to ever leave Russia, wanted to go to Jerusalem ... to go to holy places. I wanted to become skilled in Israel in the finer points of religious practice, but touch Kabbalah and jumped back, because I understand that: if I'll do it - then good-bye, pictures, good-bye, people." (bold mine. AL)

If we consider that in this case, an interest in Kabbalah is not superficial, but it can be said genetic ( "I grew up in a Jewish family from the mother has the rabbis still observe certain commandments, but it is important that I was Jewish teachings, Jewish mysticism are still important sources of creativity and an occasion for reflection. "), then this personal experience deserves special attention.

It is interesting to relate this experience to how the artist (in another interview) describes the basis of his creative method:
"If the right to look at my image abstraction turns out that they have both plane and volume. After all in my head initially with a nail stuck teaching Malevich, which stated that any plane, a blank sheet of paper - is the product of already the world. They themselves and the material and shape. You manage it as a musician notes, creating an infinite variety of the most incredible effects. These my previous guesses were confirmed later when I began to read books sages of antiquity, to study the works of gnosticism, kaballizmu, Tantrism. They teach one thing: for self-knowledge a person needs to break out beyond the self. "And when that happens, the world is changing - and you are in appearance suddenly begin to distinguish the essence. And you understand that your every movement air, little lump of dirt - everything emits light! And like the glow, the achievement of harmony by contrast - the fruit of intuition, plus a spiritual experience - a kind of shamanism, to which we need to indulge in constantly. If I'm off for a while, come out of this state, then everyone has to start from scratch . "

So, in the works in this case is essential impersonal, "Shaman" moment: a picture is created in the act of "misunderstanding".
Thus, the "misunderstanding" by the artist Kabbalah is a necessary condition for the exercise of its activities "misunderstanding" of art.

Gentlemen, I would like to respond immediately to all, but do not have time: try "in a queue.
