Iconostasis
Иконостас
Written in 1922 and published in 1972 in Bogoslovskie trudy. Starting from the experience of dreams, which separate and join two worlds, it defines the icon as a window onto the invisible and the iconostasis as the boundary between the visible and invisible worlds, formed by the saints themselves. It defends the technique of the icon — egg tempera, gold, construction in layers of light — as the expression of an ontology of light, against the oil painting and perspective of Western art.
