Sunday October 16th in person at James Bay New Horizons and on Zoom – Leigh Waters – Early Abstract Art and Spirituality; when art and science made huge shifts in history.
As an art student of visual art and art history, I spent 2-4 art history classes a week in a darkened room with projections of art on the wall. One of the strongest and most persistent questions from this very potent period of my life has left me with, is; what is spirituality in art? The first art, in western art history, that was defined as abstract was spiritual. These early 20th Century artists endeavored to paint spirit, beauty, the soul as personal spiritual beliefs rather than religious beliefs, while also being very engaged in the advancements in science.
