The Real Victory—in Love, Life, Art

Explore the meaning of Mme Bovary, and her relation to ourselves! And hear jazz talked about in a new, wonderful way! This is a Dramatic Presentation of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by poet and critic Eli Siegel. It will feature his lecture “Aesthetic Realism & Flaubert’s Madame Bovary,” in which he said: “Emma Bovary is a woman who confuses possessiveness with romance….The art of Flaubert consists of two things: one, no mercy to the evil of the world; two, trying to make beauty out of seeing evil.”

And jazz pianist and educator Alan Shapiro speaks on “Modesty & Pride, Triumph & Self-Questioning in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto #2.” He says, “As the famous Rachmaninoff melody reaches its height, its greatest pride, on a high E flat–the mingling of major and minor, confidence and self-questioning, is at its most intense.”

And there will be more!
