The Dramatic Opposites in Fatherhood

This will be a deep and thrilling dramatic presentation of Aesthetic Realism! You’ll be in the midst of culture and learn about yourself.  It will feature:

Mind & Fathers by Eli Siegel
In it, Siegel says: “A father is most often in a dilemma. He wants to be severe; at the same time he wants to be a pal….The first thing a father has to see is that when he’s nice to the child, and when he’s severe, he should be the same person.”

Fathers, Sons, & Art
Discussing Lewis Carroll’s very funny poem “Father William,” Ellen Reiss, Aesthetic Realism Chairman of Education, wrote:
“Traditionally, there has been a picture of the father trying to restrict a son. In this poem, however, it is the son who is annoyed that his father wants to meet the world with liveliness, see it from new angles. This desire to see the world as surprising is represented by Father William wanting to stand on his head. The son is the old fogy.”

A Son Can See
Looking at the Rembrandt portrait Man with the Golden Helmet, Steven Weiner writes:
“I did not see my father as a mingling of dignity and uncertainty, or see that he himself could not make sense of these opposites. Aesthetic Realism taught me that the true way of seeing Sam Weiner is the way an artist would see him. Consider this man’s thoughtful, stern face and glowing helmet…”

And—York Bellamy & His Father
A reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism lesson conducted by Eli Siegel.
