Why is it that so many icons appear so similar, dark, primitive even? It takes a trained eye to reveal the fascinating language of icons, the symbolism of colour and line, the meaning of the reverse perspective, elongated fingers and faces and desexualised features.
Combine this with an understanding of the process of creating or 'writing' an icon and the many variations of a particular theme, and suddenly it makes sense.
