A couple of items have come to our attention which we would like to share as being of interest:
Exhibit of pen and ink drawings by the late art historian and anthroposophist Johannes Gaertner ( at the R. Blitzer Gallery). Gaertner (1912–1996) was born in Berlin and settled in the United States in 1946. He was a well-known professor of art history, a much-admired poet, and a theologian. He is known today for Worldly Virtues, an elegant collection of reflections on the great classic virtues by which we may endeavor to live our lives. Johannes Gaertner’s philosophical musings shed fresh, contemporary light on oldworld virtues, from ‘sensitivity,’ ‘beauty,’ and ‘prudence’ to ‘compassion,’ ‘intellect,’ ‘tact,’ and the value of ‘absurdity.’
The show is open through September 23rd. The gallery is only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-4, and by appointment (458-1217).
Glen Williamson, who has presented his one-man shows on spiritual, anthroposophical, and artistic themes here a number of times, has asked us to share information about his 8-part series, Future Dawning, a Spiritual Fantasia on World Themes, presented in association with the Association for Anthroposophical Psychology.
Future Dawning is an explorative journey into this new mystery drama, a 21st-century drama written (mostly) in the style of 19th-century romantic poetry, as we look to the (outer) play, reading it together, but also dive (inwardly) into our own connections and relationality with others – the possible karmic associations with individuals in our own biography and with the current times we chose to live in. Psychological aspects of the characters and their interactions will also be highlighted. For more information, including registration, visit the AAP web site here.
