Art & Discontent
This thrilling event will feature–
Aesthetic Realism Looks at Things: Discontent—a 1952 lecture by Eli Siegel, enormously relevant today:
“At the present time, there is more conscious discontent than perhaps at any other time in the world’s history. When people realize this, they will have to say, for their own protection: ‘We’ve got to have people contented in this world, or there will be danger.’”
Does Your Wife Represent Reality? Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson
“Can you say, ‘You exist 100 percent, Margaret, and if I don’t grant it, it’s my bad arithmetic’?” —Eli Siegel
Is Art Really & Urgently about Life?: The Drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci by artist & educator Marcia Rackow
“Do we need—in fact, is it urgent for us—to give people and objects the depth, the solidity, the weight the artist gives?”
And more!
