Easter – A World Art view
Easter is the artists Muse
This weekend Christian countries around the globe celebrate Easter. Corporate empires cash in with increased chocolate and gifts sales.
Originally a time of respect for the miracle of all miracles, Jesus coming back from the dead, the real trick is that he managed to not return zombified or as a vampire, god I watch to much B grade fiction.
Anyway as with all good holidays Easter, also known as Pascha was commandeered by the pagans and somehow bunny rabbits that lay chocolate coated eggs came to be. Abundant feasts and merging of faiths over the years has seen a unified 4 days of relaxation and family bloom.
So with that completely bias summation of the event I thought it would appropriate to share some images from around the world and throughout history that have tried to capture the essence of the event.

The obvious place to start is with the resurrection itself which occurred three days after the whole nailed to a crucifix torture.

Easter can certainly be seen as a mood filled with overwhelming emotion. Here an impressionist visualises that essence.

I can’t resist an excuse to share the sculptures of Easter Island.

Happy Easter break to all I hope the balance of friends, family and relaxation is joyous!
