Abstract
In the “Author Gallery”, we present frames from Paweł Piechnik’s comic Bread of Freedom. It may be that, being surrounded by contemporary images diverse in content, form, genre, style, function and medium, we do not battle with ourselves over which religious content to depict, if any. Even Leo III the Syrian (with whom the iconoclasm dispute began) would not question such a “meeting” between a comic and religion, probably because the line and frame are not “deified”, but rather prompt questions about the limits of the image as the limits of religion – as is the case with Bread of Freedom – as the boundaries of metaphysics. But not everything can be presented and justified. The iconoclasm dispute has left many traces in Western culture, including those in the form of questions related to what might be presented. The comic Bread of Freedom designs unobvious responses to questions of this nature.
