Life and Incarnation in human being, in Christ and in Kandinsky's Painting. Reading by Michel Henry

My aim in this essay is to show how Wassily Kandinsky's painting is a true celebration of spiritual or religious life. To achieve this end, I turn to the work of Michel Henry Voir l'invisible (Seeing the invisible), which comments on the theoretical studies and pictorial works of Kandinsky. In turn, the phenomenological study of life in the art of the abstract expressionist painter finds its foundations in the phenomenology of life and flesh, which Michel Henry develops in his book Incarnation. Une philosophie de la chair (Incarnation. A philosophy of the flesh), in which he proposes a philosophy of Christianity, the center of which is the idea of the incarnation of the Word of God in the human flesh, according to the prologue of the Gospel of John.
