- Abstract
The poet who was a friend of El Greco once told Greco in his letter: “Eccentricities will be extolled in the future”, which become true 300 years later. Greco has undoubtedly been known as a great painter. The strong mysticism in his paintings and his aesthetic philosophy, even today, are still respected by modern painters. He became the “modern generation and Cezanne's contemporaries”. [1] What methods did Greco use to make his paintings full of mysticism? This paper, starting from the creative means of "art defamiliarization" and combining with its cultural and religious background, aims to make an objective and reasonable analysis about the specific methods of its mysterious atmosphere, in order to prepare for personal artistic creation in the future.
