Theological Book Review
"This beautifully illustrated book provides the reader with an
excellent guide to understanding icons. . . For anyone interested
in the production and meaning of icons, this book will be essential
reading." New Directions
"I guarantee you will not be disappointed by the reproductions in
this book of Solrunn Nes' icons. The colours are vibrant and the
faces of the figures arrest the attention of the viewer -- as of
course they should." Dallas Morning News
"Nes offers a fascinating survey of Christian icons . . .
accompanied by full-color images of her work." Touchstone
"Solrunn Nes has produced a fine guide to iconography in her
Mystical Language of Icons. The book is lavishly illustrated in
full color throughout with Nes's own icons, each in the style of
one of the various schools with which she is most conversant. All
are striking and luminous -- and fully in accord with the objective
canonical tradition. Her work reveals how one committed prayerfully
to the latter can nonetheless produce art of obvious creativity.
This book is unreservedly recommended."
