Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting | | German term or phrase: Rückbindung | Werke mit religiösem Inhalt nehmen einen großen Teil des Oeuvres von Hans Fronius ein. Speziell in den letzten Lebensjahren widmet sich der 1988 verstorbene Künstler besonders intensiv dieser Themenstellung. Auf der Basis einer großen Kenntnis der Traditionen christlicher Bildikonographie gestaltet Fronius Bildwerke, die diese Darstellungstraditionen immer als persönliche Frage an die menschliche Existenz der jeweils Agierenden, der jeweiligen Akteure vorstellen. Jeder Mensch wird in seiner fraglichen Existenz präsentiert – eingebunden in umfassende vmöglichkeiten (also „Religion“ im direkten Wortsinn).
Hans Fronius sucht jedoch eine Rückbindung, die tief im Menschen wurzelt, nicht eine, die sich hoch über ihn wegbewegt. Nur in der Hinwendung zu den menschlichen Tiefen, auch speziell zu seinen Abgründen sieht der Künstler die möglichen Wirksamkeiten umfassender Rückbindungen. Nur aus einer solchen Hinwendung kann sich auch ein Prinzip des Ethischen entwickeln und darf sich behaupten. Nur darauf aufbauend können Hoffnungen auf weiterreichende Rückbindungen vorgestellt werden.
Here's my translation such as it is:
Works of a religious nature comprise a large part of Hans Fronius’ oeuvres. In the last few years of his life the artist, deceased 1988, particularly dedicated himself to this theme. Fronius’ works are designed based on an extensive knowledge of the traditions of Christian image iconography, which always present these ?representation traditions? as a personal question on human existence of the respective actor/actors. Each person is presented ?in their questionable existence – integrated in comprehensive/broadx Rückbindung possibilities (hence “religion” in its direct literal sense).
Hans Fronius however seeks a Rückbindung that is deeply rooted in people, not one that moves away high above him. Only in commitment to the depths of man and particularly to man’s abysses sees the artist the possible effectiveness of comprehensive/broadx Rückbindung. Only through such a commitment can a principle of ethics also develop and be able to hold its ground. Only based on this can hopes for further reaching Rückbindungen be envisioned. |

I think what is meant is an identification with real people - flawed people and not angels or cherubs, so that the "evangelism" of the paintings will be effective. |
