Summary

The Evolution of White and Black Magic in Art and Its Impact on Cultural Heritage

For the Award of Pranas Dovydaitis

The article explores the development of white and black magic in art, tracing its roots from antiquity to the present day and examining its impact on cultural heritage. By examining the origins of magical practices, the emergence of the first magical symbols and their influence on the development of artistic traditions, the article provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between magic and art. It also examines how magical rituals and spells have shaped the physical and energetic environment and how these influences have been represented in art throughout history. Key artists who have incorporated elements of magic into their work are analysed, highlighting how their art reflects and reinforces cultural beliefs about magic. The energy conveyed by paintings created through magical practices is explored, focusing on how these works affect viewers and contribute to the cultural significance of art. Finally, the article examines contemporary artworks that incorporate magical elements, analysing their relevance in today's art world and their role in preserving and transforming cultural heritage. The findings suggest that magic has played a crucial role in shaping artistic expression and cultural identity, and that its influence continues to resonate in modern art. This study highlights the enduring link between magic and art and its importance in understanding the evolution of cultural heritage.
