Thoughts about the attitude that backlights the creative work of
    i leon Golomb
    known as “the Gynocosm”.
What energizes the work of i. leon Golomb is the concept and image of “Woman.” The art work that is called the Gynocosm is neither religious nor political it is concerned with Woman as the source of Creativity and the isolation that envelopes creativity Although the concept and image of Woman that we know is unique to the Western world it has been distorted politically, and religiously, so as to be used for world aggression by the power sector of European civilization.

Woman as Madona is the artistic ideology of the European-core culture. A culture whose visualization of Woman guides the hands of the working artist and that enables Western creativity from the Gothic Cathedrals to Vermeer to Picasso to the Subway System to the Fashion Industry to encompass a world.waiting for new revelations. ...........However

The religious/cultural development of the post-Biblical era in Europe saw the creation of woman in art as the magical ikon; Religion has defined civilizations in the past and the Catholic control of the European lands elevating the concept and image of the Madonna to become the ikon for European life and art. Thus providing the energy flow for development and expansion outward to the rest of the world. Becoming an active stimulus for men while appealing to passivity and fear in the world The Madonaism is the background and energizing factor of the European Civilization as it sent out its missionaries to control and “Westernize” the World While men have used Woman to pursue their political ends The art of the Gynocosm is neither political nor religious but addresses the reality as well as the fantasy of existence.
