The Interrelation Between Art Worlds
()
About this ebook
The Interrelation Between Art Worlds is a part of PhD thesis and it deals with the simultaneous and successive art using the illustrations of Bhagavad Gita, in 18 chapters, where each chapter has two versions. The substance of the author's interest is a transfer of thoughts and feelings from the ancient Indian epic, through visual elements, that is, the visualization of temporal arts. She tried to explain the philosophy of Bhagavad Gita through composition, color, contrast, third dimension, structure, texture, proportion, rhythm and dynamics, which is particular because in India philosophy equals religion, and vice versa. Described is also the analogy between temporal and spatial arts, such as color (valeur), music (chord). Through the synergy of meaning and radiation on the illustrations, we can achieve experience of "reading the image".

FOREWORD
The Bhagavad Gita or the Song Celestial is not only a sacred piece of scripture, but a beautiful work of literature transcending the boundaries of religion, race, and time. The Bhagavad Gita incorporates in its 18 chapters a philosophy of a life, of meaning, purpose, and fulfilment.
2. The present work by Dr. Tatjana Burzanovic presents a unique, visual, literary and philosophical depiction of the message of the Bhagavad Gita. Dr. Burzanovic’s pictorial illustrations of the themes of the Bhagavad Gita are informed by a lifelong scholarly interest, and her very distinctive artistic sensibility. Dr. Burzanovic was awarded a Doctorate for her work on her interpretations, in art and literature, of the Bhagavad Gita.
3. I am sure this beautifully brought out coffee-table presentation would be a source of joy to the many friends of India’s culture, art, and history in Montenegro, and in the wider region. It will also inspire artists and scholars in the two countries to undertake fresh explorations of our rich cultures, to further strengthen the warm and friendly relations between India and Montenegro.

THE INTERRELATION BETWEEN
ART WORLDS
…it is art alone which can succeed in objectifying with universal validity what the philosopher is able to present in a merely subjective fashion
… The philosophy achieves, however, the most, but it carries to that point, in a sense, only one part of man
… Art carries the whole man, as he is, to the knowledge of the Highest, and in this lies the eternal difference and miracle of art…
Schelling
Art is not only an elevated form of human expression, it is actually a self-featured disclosure of the essence of beauty, certainly establishing life in the truth and freedom of mind. This is exactly why the relationship of philosophy and art is especially close: art frees philosophy when it comes to the world of metaphysical, and vice versa, philosophy releases art of its closure in the world of sensitivity. Artists, each in their own way, express their own view of the world which is always more or less, conscious or unconscious, direct or mediated, grounded in a philosophy. It is hard to form a judgment about many individuals in terms of whether they are philosophers who are involved in art, or artists who deal with philosophy.
Philosophy, Religion and Ethics are stated in the Bhagavad Gita in poetic form in such an organic way, in such an organic unity, that one cannot be separated from the other. The Bhagavad Gita is a philosophical poem called by Wilhelm von Humboldt the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue, perhaps the deepest and loftiest thing the world has to show
. The Bhagavad Gita (The Song of God), inspiration, became a source of inspiration for forty paintings on this topic.
In the old world literature the most important place is occupied by two famous Indian epics: Ramayana and Mahabharata. Initially these two epics were heroic poems and historical stories, and later in the course of historical development many religious and philosophical literary works and morals were added to the original epic. They are so large in terms of the content that an undedicated reader has to be filled with awe. Most scientists agree that the Mahabharata and Ramayana as a whole originate from the period of 600-300 BC. It is not excluded that both of these epics were created much earlier. The Bhagavad-Gita (The Song of God) is considered the most beautiful part of Mahabharata. This great philosophical poem is highly esteemed not only by Hindus but the whole world. For Hindus it is a source of inspiration and spiritual action, and for the Western world it is the most outstanding monument of ancient Indian culture. Besides its purely literary value, the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most important literary works for understanding the Indian thought. It includes all the basic thoughts of Indian philosophers expressed in the systems of Mimamsa-Vedanta, Sankhya-Yoga and Nyaya-Vaisheshika. The Mahabharata, especially the Bhagavad-Gita, is an intellectual reflection of struggle in the time when the values of life were disrupted.
After philosophical Upanishads, the Gita is the most important contribution to the study of Indian philosophy. The Gita is among the most widespread books in the world. A German philosopher, A. Schopenhauer was among the first in the West to appraise the size and beauty of Indian philosophy and literature. He read the Persian-Latin translation of passages of the Upanishads by D. Anquetil, and inter alia said: This is the most instructive and most exalted reading in the world; it was a comfort to my life and will be consolation to my death.
In the Gita, the ideal is united with practical life. This is where its overall value comes from.
