2020 Virtual Salons: Gatherings of Art, Culture and Ideas
The Art of Longing: John of the Cross, Dali, Chagall and Mompou December 14, 2020, 10:30 am - Noon On the Feastday of John of the Cross, we explore how the great love song of the Hebrew Bible (The Song of Solomon) was the inspiration for the 20th century Jewish painter Marc Chagall and 16th century Spanish Carmelite mystic Juan de la Cruz (John of the Cross). We will discover how John's own ecstatic poem written during his imprisonment during the Dark Night of His Soul became the seed of inspiration for Salvador Dali 's most profound painting and the sublime "Silent Music" of Federico Mompou.
