“Very few scholars take up Dionysius’s artistic identity as the main topic of their work, yet many of them make sweeping conclusions on this very matter. Identifying Dionysius and his visual rhetoric as traditionalistic or nationalistic are, essentially, attempts at determining his ideological positions on art—his artistic identity. However, such terms are too limiting and too simplistic to describe accurately Dionysius and his work. Taking up the artistic ideologies of Dionysius as the focus of this study, I found it necessary to define new terms of discourse in order to address properly the complexity of the subject at hand. These terms allow for greater linguistic maneuverability without burdening the subject with restrictive language.”
