Love & Art—Should They Have the Same Purpose?

This superb art event will feature:

Aesthetics Meets Love by Eli Siegel

“A situation having to do with ethics very often occurs in married life. A woman wants to do A and a man wants to do B. Unless your ethics is in a very good state, there’s likely to be a quarrel….Though this is an ethical situation, it has the aesthetic problem with it: how you can please yourself and do what you want to, and also please another.”

Do You Believe In Love? Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson
“A person should be interested in pleasure, but be interested in the effect she or he has on another person….Is it possible to have ecstasy and self-respect?”–Eli Siegel

Dorothy & Chaim Koppelman on Mondrian & Matisse
Chaim Koppelman: “What Is Authentic Joy—Matisse’s Harmony in Red”
Dorothy Koppelman: “Repose & Energy in Piet Mondrian’s Composition with Yellow, Blue and Red”
—And—
The Opening of a Terrain Gallery Exhibition: The Value of Objects
Double Prints by Dorothy & Chaim Koppelman

The Terrain Gallery coordinators say:
“For many years, two important American artists—Aesthetic Realism consultants Chaim and Dorothy Koppelman, husband and wife—made etchings that arose from their looking together at the same objects: for instance, a tomato, a row of bottles, a coat, a water tower. Now, the Terrain shows a selection from the hundreds of prints they created. In these double prints, framed together, we see how the perceptions of two artists are very different and yet this Aesthetic Realism principle stated by Eli Siegel is grandly true of both: ‘All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.’”

A reception will follow.
