Luke Warmodox thinks the modernist icons painted by Fr Stamatis Skliris are cool. Especially the one of the Resurrection painted in the chapel at Chambesy.  |

Sad paradox: The Hyperdox Herman meme works best when people with actual hyperdox tendencies contribute them. Attempted memes like this fall flat because they are being contributed by people with the exact opposite tendencies and so come across as harsh. The only way to get a "let's make fun of liberal Orthodox" meme to work is to get "progressive" Orthodox to make fun of themselves. "Progressives" with enough of a sense of humor to make fun of themselves are rare.
The only solution is to get Jon Stewart to convert to Orthodox Christianity.

You do have a point. While I found most of these funny, I can see where you are coming from. Most of the Hyperdox Herman memes I have seen were done by Luke Warmodox and as a result were about as funny as getting herpes from a toilet seat. |

Actually it is very interesting art, both paintings. They're just not icons. I don't know why people make such a fuss to say that any icon-inspired art is an icon as well. As per the meme above, there is a lot of very good poetry that is not in sonnet metrics. Why anyone would insist in calling a non-sonnet a sonnet, is beyond me. Fabio Leite,

That why I think they mix icon theology and philosophy of art. There are more than enough virtues that recommend art, even icon-inspired art. But not all images are icons just like not all spiritual texts are Scripture. I think both "Passion of Christ" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" are engaging art in their own methods and aims, and I appreciate both. I don't see any lacking in them that their scripts should be called Scripture. I think some artists should be more confident of what they do and relax. There is God inspiration even in non-icon paitings. Just chill. |

He is an instrument working in obedience to the Church, painting according to what the Church teaches. His responsibility is as great as that of the hymnographer, whose hymns must properly reflect and proclaim Orthodox teachings. There is so much that is wrong with the "icons" of the Resurrection and of St Andrew, yet the artist has seen it fit to call them icons. Disgraceful and unacceptable. |
