Abstractly encoded? It is not so interesting (or what I can not understand). I wonder when the picture intentionally hidden signs and as a result of the picture is even some sense. And it is interesting to look and enjoy. Confirmation that the success of the book "Code Davinchi".

Dear Sergeyitch, about "a Vinci Code" will not speak - is a matter of taste. But to "hide" in the picture may only person hudzhnik, but here it is that the artist - this is a medium, an intermediary between the world of ideas (to use Plato's terminology) and a pale reflection of our reality. So brush artist "leads" the Lord himself, and the task master - be tepelivym student and do not contribute anything (or minimum) in his writings of God. Entities that are expressed in such art can not be manifested through the usual forms, so the abstract here - most, in my opinion, the appropriate language.

[Сергеич]

"code Davinchi" is entertaining literature. Nothing to do with the actual facts.

I agree. But I'm talking about success, not as a book and the information in it. People interested to solve the riddles and pictures included.

artist's brush "leads" the Lord himself, and the task master - be tepelivym student and do not contribute anything (or minimum) in his writings of God

It is difficult to distinguish where the idea of God, and where the gag. And then that's best guesses.

There is not all perceived genre or rather "side of life" - mysticism, or, in the present day - Esotericism.

In about spirituality, I think Tell A can be a very beautiful woman, Helena Roerich. (Collector, expert and restorer of antique paintings, writer)
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
  Helena Roerich, née Shaposhnikov, born February 12, 1879 in St. Petersburg in an educated and noble family.

Her father was Ivan Ivanovich Shaposhnikov, a famous architect, academician. His race came from the Baltic. The family kept the legend of how the ancestor of Ivan Ivanovich, a former mayor of Riga, Peter gave a great hat Monomakh. For this he was Invited to serve in Russia, and in memory of this event has received the name of Shaposhnikov [3, str.389].

  Through his mother, nee Golenischeva-Kutuzova, Elena Ivanovna, belonged to a noble aristocratic family. Among her ancestors - the leader of the People's Volunteers in 1612 Prince Dmitry Pozharsky [1, p.88], winner of Napoleon MI Kutuzov. Through one of the grandmothers in her veins Mongol blood, the blood of Genghis Khan [3, str.394]. Composer MP Mussorgsky was a cousin of her mother and even dedicated her some of his works.

Helena won, as was the custom in this range, excellent education at home, continued it in the Mariinsky girls' high school and music school.

But in this prosperous and not alien to the spiritual interests of the environment, she felt a strange, painful Sensitive to the hypocrisy and insincerity in the people around her.

  From the early years it showed a special love for the beauty in all its facets, the desire for knowledge, a deep religious feeling, love of books and the need for self-education.

It has a subtle, intuitive, visionary, accompanied her entire life and helped her and her family. I saw prophetic dreams. Dreamed devote themselves to serving the disadvantaged and in need of spiritual help. In it lived a premonition of its special mission.

  In 1899, the estate of his uncle Prince Putiatina she met Nicholas Roerich, who had come there for the Archaeological Society. That meeting changed her life.
 
Relatives of Helena were strongly against her marriage with the artist, though known, but then did not have lasting social and economic situation. But Elena and Nick overcame all obstacles, and in 1901 married in St. Petersburg, in the church of St. Catherine at the Imperial Academy of Arts [1, p.93].

  Helena became a collaborator, the inspiration of her husband. She accompanied him in archaeological expeditions, participated in the excavations. Learn techniques of photography and taking pictures of monuments of ancient Russian culture in the expeditions to the ancient cities of Russia. Together with Nikolai Konstantinovich she collected antique painting. Her particular flair helped to find a truly valuable paintings unjustly neglected masters, and talent restorer helps to bring them beauty. Nicholas Roerich wrote with admiration of her surprisingly easy "music" arm, which gave new life to old canvases [2, p. 112-113].

But a special place in her life took their sons - George and Svetoslav. Family pedagogy Roerich - the topic is almost unexplored. Closely noticing Helena propensity of children, ably directed and supported them and, most importantly, she and Nicholas were for them an example of labor for the common good. Their children have become associates and successors to the cause of their parents.

  In early 1915 NK Roerich ill. The illness becomes protracted chronic form, and the doctors strongly recommend to change the unhealthy climate of St. Petersburg. Because of hostilities can not get in traditional in such cases, the Alps or even the Crimea and in the end of 1916 the family moved to Serdobol (Karelia). This is where being overtaken their first events of February, and then the October Revolution. In 1918, Finland gets independence, and Roerich are abroad.

Soon the family is sent to Sweden, where the exhibition of paintings by NK Roerich, then to England. There, in 1920, an event occurs, opening a new stage in the life of Helena. March 24 in London, she meets with her teacher and from that moment, in collaboration with the Masters of Wisdom of the East begins work on the Teaching of Living Ethics. This work continued until the last days of her life.

  At the end of 1920 the family moved to the United States. There NK Roerich lays the groundwork for the broadest of cultural activities: organized by the Institute of United Arts, an international art center Corona Mundi, Association of Artists Cor Ardens, participates in other projects, which have provided impetus to the development of cultural life of America. And in all these endeavors has been actively involved Elena Ivanovna. With the help of organized group closest associates for many years became a mainstay of cultural activities of NK Roerich.

  In 1923 Roerichs able to realize a dream that emerged from them even in Russia - to get to India. Thus began the Central-Asian expedition to the most inaccessible areas of the Sacred Heart of Asia.

  Helena took an active part in all stages of the expedition. It included all the details of the organization, its flair and deep knowledge of people helped in the selection of members of the expedition.

Along with the expedition, on a par with men, she overcame thousands of route miles, 35 mountain passes up to 6 and a half thousand meters, the great Takla Makan and Gobi, nearly perished on the mountainous Tibetan plateau Chantang.

In this expedition, the aims and objectives which has already been said many, in Helena had a special mission, the importance of which we have yet to realize. On Paths of Middle Asia to create the book "Community" and "Signs of Agni Yoga", as well as the book "Basics of Buddhism," published by it under the pseudonym Natalya Rokotov.

  Upon completion of the expedition in 1928 the family settled in Kullu valley in northern India, in the foothills of the Himalayas. It was created to systematize the materials of the Central Asian expedition and comprehensive study of the region's Institute of Himalayan Studies Urusvati ", the founding president of which was Helena Roerich [ www.roerich.kz /publication /uruswatyinstit.htm] .
 
In 30-ies she begins an active correspondence with cultural organizations, initiated by NK Roerich, with individual correspondents. In the letters she answered questions about the different facets of the new cosmic worldview that underlies the teachings of the Living Ethics.
This correspondence lasted until the end of her life and became a parting word to all seekers of truth.

  At the same time under the pseudonym Natalya Yarovaya Helena wrote the book "The Banner of St. Sergius," translates into Russian Mahatmas favorite passages in the letters published under the title "Chalice of the East" (a pseudonym Iskander Khanum), takes 1 and 2 volumes of the Secret Doctrine E.P . Blavatsky. Actively working with the editor of Occultism and Yoga AM Aseev, printed in this magazine article under the pseudonym M. Sundri, answers readers' questions.

In 1940 in Riga, is published in two volumes of the Letters Helena Roerich, containing fragments of letters to predominantly European correspondents.

  The outbreak of World War II made serious changes in the cultural activities of the Roerich family. It was dismantled and mothballed the Institute's work "Urusvati" dropped correspondence, in the crucible of war were lost personnel.

Soul and thoughts Helena Roerich was with the homeland, fighting the forces of darkness. And only a few can understand the importance of such support.

  And before the war and on its completion NK and EI Roerichs dreamed of returning to his homeland, the Soviet Union. But their dreams come true was not given. In 1947, died Nicholas. Because of the complicated political situation Helena was forced to leave Kullu. Few months she waits in vain for permission to return home, and then settles down with her son Yuri in Kalimpong, a small town in the foothills of the Himalayas.

It continued its cooperation with the Teachers of mankind, which resulted in the book Teachings of the Living Ethics, and not yet published full record on science and the Future of Fire experience - a change that took place in the body of Helena in the course of this cooperation.

Helena passed away Oct. 5, 1955 and was on the Indian custom cremated near Kalimpong. Later in the place of its cremation stupa was created - the first in the Indian stupa dedicated to the woman. Now with her came a Buddhist monastery.

They say that when the stretcher with the body was carried to the cremation place, along the road were villagers who had come to take her final journey. They knew nothing about Elena Ivanovna Roerich, but his heart felt the need to do it.

Life mission Helena and Nicholas Roerich continued their sons George and Svetoslav, who had returned to the motherland priceless heritage of the Great Families.

In the name of Helena Roerich called Jubilee Medal, established by the International Roerich Center in Moscow and the College of Arts, Roerich estate in Kulu, public library in Altai in Ust-Cox, Charity Fund and the International Prize.

In the house, where we did the last years of her life in Kalimpong (India) opened the museum.

December 24 in Tel Aviv will be one of the most promising

art exhibitions of the year. Israeli artist of Russia, Boris Dubrov present a conceptual exhibit of paintings, united by one theme - the Kabbalah.
Subject Kabbalah recently becoming increasingly popular in the general environment, but perhaps for the first time the basics of the spiritual teachings are reflected in modern painting.

Name of the event speaks for itself. Merkava - a celestial chariot of the Creator, pulled by animals, symbolizing the 4 main Sefira (spiritual components of the upper world). Central picture of the exhibition is a bull, symbolizing Sefira "Gvurah.
Paintings in a single complex give everyone an idea of the device and the interaction of the spiritual world with the world of the material.

Traditional Talmudic subjects, but the new interpretation, just found their place in the exhibition. For example, visitors can see paintings "Noah", "Adam and Eve, Cain and others.
Boris Dubrov is a prominent representative of the Russian school of painting. Born in St. Petersburg, where he also received art education. In the 90 years immigrated to Israel, where he continued his creative endeavors, the results of which are pictures, explanations of Jewish towns in the genre of Jewish Studies.
The current exhibition - Outcome 4 - x years of work in the studio and in-depth study of Kabbalah by leading rabbis of Israel. According to the author himself, this art project designed to provide a new direction in painting, which he called "kabrealizm" - the transfer of Kabbalistic themes in a realistic manner.

Colleagues from Tel Aviv to go?

In connection with the subject would like to mention some work by Maurice de Vlaminck (Maurice de Vlaminck 1876-1958). Haystacks drew, probably thousands of artists - and not very large, but their paintings they emit static, peace, promote emotional balance. Perhaps only in Vlaminck felt in them some "hell" - rick look alive, some restless, budorazhaschaschimi, exciting. Perhaps this is due to a combination of low dynamic as it preduragannym air, as well as skillfully constructed leading lines composition of paintings. Nothing supernatural is not shown because there are no artificially invented fantastic images. It is difficult to comprehend the reasons for the impact of such paintings Vlaminck on the psyche. But it clearly is, with some mobilizing and, strangely enough, positive. After seeing some time at a similar picture in the statute or drowsy, relaxed state, you begin to feel like after drinking a cup of strong coffee: I want to get up and do some useful task.

Utagawa Yoshifuji /Esifudzi Utagawa (1828 -1887)

The basis of this print is a legend, which states: Okabe at the station, which is located on the main road, the Tokaido, settled a witch. It took an image of a cat and a frightened young women who come to the temple. But the evil witch turned against her. Once she so badly frightened woman that she cursed her, and the witch turned to stone, resembling a cat's head. This stone to this day lies under a pine tree near the temple.

Esoterica, mysticism is not only in painting but also in the picture. Of course now almost all have mastered Photoshop and "doing" something unusual "But I think the most interesting paintings and photographs are the ones ... that affect human life. I shoveled almost the entire Internet to find pictures that affect or impact on human life and found only one story (of my photos I do not take account

History of Verbena:
Two days ago, late at night, showed a documentary about the death of Admiral Nakhimov. Went through old pictures and found this. Picture taken in 1986, while on vacation in Yalta, 10-12 days before the death of the vessel. Admiral Nakhimov stood on the quay, were preparing to cruise. My friends and I are discussing how nice it was to sail on it. Near walked many smart people looking at the ship.
At home, when her husband published the photos, it turned out that the film was a defect in the form of black razlohmachennoy band. A few days later it was reported that Admiral Nakhimov sank, killing more than 400 people. And the band was perceived as a funeral.
Yesterday brought the photo to work, a young worker said she did not even hear about it. I decided to send to the FA.
Reference: The ship was built in 1925 in Germany, called BERLIN. In January. 1945. sunk, stepped on a mine field at a depth of 18 m. In an attempt sudopodema in early 1947, an explosion occurred and the ship sank to the bottom again. In the autumn it was raised, restored in the USSR and was named "Admiral Nakhimov. August 31, 1986 Admiral Nakhimov around midnight was rammed cargo vessel "Peter Vasev" and sank in 8 minutes. 800 people rescued, but more than 400 (including many children) have died. Admiral Nakhimov performed last flight, after which he should have been sent for scrap.
To note: Almost all ships that had carried the name Nakhimova been shattered. In 1897 - the cargo ship "Nakhimov" sank off the coast of Turkey. In 1905, the Japanese sank the armored cruiser Admiral Nakhimov. In 1941 the light cruiser was sunk Chervona Ukraine "(original title" Admiral Nakhimov ").
