At the Knights of Columbus Museum in New Haven. Free lecture by noted Connecticut artist. Iconography: Holy Tradition, Holy History Lecture by Marek Czarnecki March 8, 2014, 2 p.m. What is an icon and what are its distinctions? How do icons differ from other religious art? When and why did the use of icons originate in Christianity? Using theology, archaeology, art history, anthropology, and the earliest legends of the origins of iconography, Connecticut iconographer Marek Czarnecki will examine how icons evolved from the earliest Christian art of the catacombs, survived the iconoclastic controversy, and became an inseparable part of the universal Christian patrimony. Czarnecki studied under Russian Orthodox iconographer Ksenia Pokrovsky, who founded the Izograph School in Moscow. In recognition of his iconography and liturgical restoration work, Czarnecki received the 1996 and 2004 Artist’s Fellowship from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts. He is also the recipient of the American Council for Polish Culture’s Jan de Rosen Award, and has been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts through the Southern New England Traditional Arts Program.
