Podcasts about fine arts

Sarah Price is a landscape gardener who's always seemed to exist on another plane. Her designs work with the environment to create something that feels both otherworldly and of the earth. After undertaking a degree in Fine Art, Sarah went on to design gardens for the London Olympic Park, Manchester's Whitworth Gallery and a Maggie's Centre in Southampton. But she's also made some of the most remarkable - and memorable - gardens on the Chelsea Flower Show Main Avenue, winning two gold medals in the process. We meet Sarah in her garden at home in Abergavenny, Wales, which once belonged to her grandparents. As we walk the paths, streams and tunnels that she had played in as a child, Sarah tells us some of the stories that her garden has carried, how this precious and magical space informs her practice, and what we often overlook when we make gardens. Sarah Price can be found online, www.sarahpricelandscapes.com, and her instagram, @sarahpricelandscapes. She is supported by gardeners Keri Schofield, Jacky Mills and Ian Mannal; Rachel Seaton Lucas in her studio, and Crocus, who she has worked with since 2011.This podcast is inspired by my book, Why Women Grow: Stories of Soil, Sisterhood and Survival, which is available in all good bookshops.

“DWARF PLANET Octave Stargoals” This special presents the dynamic consciousness of three dwarf planets and their three lower octave planets. Jupiter and Quaoar, Saturn and Varuna, with Uranus and Makemake. These new energies beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt operate according to one's ability of awareness. Regardless, the path strives towards one of recognizing deep and perhaps unseen patterns within. On a spiritual direction, their transits offer deep transformative development integrating our emotions, heart and soul,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of weekly show. “And example is that Mercury is the lower octave of Uranus, so is Makemake the higher of Uranus. The mercurial focus of communication and connection bridges into the Uranian focus on elevating humanity to advocating for one's cultural group in Makemake through a winning achievement involving mentors. These are complex, but enlarge another arena which affects us on various levels.” Joining Talk Cosmos founder and eclectic evolutionary astrologer Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua Kona, Hawai'i will be special guest Melissa Elvira Billington of Brisbane, Australia.

O episódio 19 com a designer e troublemaker Raquel Gomes é um diálogo entre duas feministas sobre educação em design, sobre como se aprende e sobre como se ensina. A conversa reflete sobre o processo que a levou a analisar criticamente os caminhos de educação que percorre, o peso que o feminismo teve nesse estudo e como chegou ao formato final do seu projeto final de mestrado: o workshop Feminist Design Power Tools. Falamos sobre as expectativas e os métodos usados no workshop e sobre as repercussões desse processo.  A Raquel cresceu em São Miguel e hoje está sediada em Lisboa. Completou uma licenciatura e um mestrado em Arquitectura, mas foi no Design onde encontrou a sua voz.

About Tere Derbez Tere Derbez was born in Mexico City, has her art studio at San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, and Scottsdale, Arizona; since she was a child, she has showed her love for painting. As a teenager she began her studies at the Institute of Fine Arts of San Luis Potosí, where she cultivated a deep friendship with teacher Raúl Gamboa, a contemporary of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo, and from whom she learned the basics of drawing and the secrets of painting, and whom Tere Derbez considers her mentor.  However, her interest in painting and writing never ceases. Since 1995, she has dedicated her full time to her passion; painting and writing, always looking for new forms and techniques of expression. Her painting style leads towards surrealism, having Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington as role models. She describes herself as a passionate woman who loves all her experiences, recognizing that in the face of people, essentially in their eyes, their soul is reflected. She believes that at this time Mexico needs a new stream of artists that need support to be able to dedicate themselves fully to the creation of their works.  As a writer, she writes weekly in two newspapers in Mexico: El Sol de San Luis y Del Bajio, and monthly in Hominis Magazine. She has written two books of poems, and the novel «El Ángel de Sofía». She also has a foundation called «El Ángel de Sofía», which is focused on helping young people and adults from marginalized areas, to help to realize their dreams of life by promoting education, art and sports. The foundation puts special attention on the area of mental health. Tere currently collaborates in the Huasteca Potosina and the Sierra Tarahumara as well as in San Luis Potosí, where a Cultural Program was started and a «Cultural and Arts Center» was created in an abandoned market.  Episode Notes  00:00 Intro  07:12 Lesson 1: Life starts with family, and it ends with you  10:45 Lesson 2: How to overcome difficulties in life as a single parent  16:07 Lesson 3: Not everything that shines is made of gold  18:03 Lesson 4: Seven jobs will bring you 9 misfortunes  20:29 Lesson 5: Don't expect anything from anyone  23:45 Affiliate Break  24:35 Lesson 6: Don't control, let it go  29:14 Lesson 7: Love is all you need  32:38 Lesson 8: Learn how to use your energy  36:45 Lesson 9: How to love your life as you grow older  40:39 Lesson 10: The importance of Mindfulness   

A 70-year-old person with cystic fibrosis. It's a phrase that wasn't just uncommon a few decades ago—it was virtually unheard of.When Luanne McKinnon was diagnosed in 1969 at just 13 years old, doctors told her parents she might live to be 19 years old. Today, Luanne stands on the edge of her 70th birthday—a milestone that not only redefines possibility but embodies resilience, creativity, and purpose.Born in Dallas, Texas in 1955, Luanne was diagnosed at a time when cystic fibrosis was still barely understood. No vests. No targeted medications. No community. And yet, she carved out a life of profound impact. “I stand as a witness to the possible.” says Luanne McKinnonAfter earning a Master of Fine Art in Painting and a PhD in Art History, she launched a celebrated career in the visual arts—owning an art dealership in New York City, directing major university museums, publishing works, and curating over 35 exhibitions. She even became a Fellow at the prestigious Getty Research Institute.And while that would be more than enough for most of us, Luanne continued to pour herself into advocacy—serving as Co-chair for Stanford's Patient and Family Advisory Committee, raising awareness for CF patients before and after transplant. In 2011, she underwent a successful double-lung transplant at Stanford, and fourteen years later, she is still very much living proof.This episode is not about her equally remarkable husband—EMMY award-winning filmmaker Daniel Reeve—though we'll mention him later. This is about Luanne—her life, her art, her truth, and her refusal to let a diagnosis define the limits of her possibility. She says, “I stand as a witness to the possible.”And after listening to this conversation, I think you'll believe in the possible, too.Welcome, to a very special episode of the Living with cystic fibrosis podcast and our incredible guest, Luanne McKinnon.

Joe Burke is the writer/director of Burt (2025), starring Oliver Cooper and Burt Berger. Shot on a $7,000 budget in just 7 days with a 3-person crew, the story follows Burt, a 69-year old street musician living with Parkinson's, and Sammy, a wayward young man from New York who shows up with the bombshell news that he is Burt's long lost son. The film premiered at Cinequest in San Jose to critical acclaim including the award for Best Narrative Feature: Comedy. It later won Best Picture and Best Acting Ensemble awards at the Phoenix Film Festival. On May 3rd, it had its LA premiere at the Fine Arts theater in Beverly Hills, which drew a packed crowd. Executive Producer David Gordon Green moderated a panel that consisted of Burt, Steven Levy, Oliver, composer Tim Rutili and other cast/crew.  Joe Burke has also made a plethora of short films that can be found on his YouTube channel. One of the shorts, Another Cancer Movie (2013), features Burt Berger in a supporting role. Fast forward to Burt (2025) - Burke and Cooper crafted a film loosely based on Burt's real life, shining a light and keeping the focus on Burt's incredible character and not his diagnosis. The decision was made to portray the film in black and white, which adds great depth to the film's already heavy emotional value. Stay tuned for upcoming screening announcements, including another LA showing in June! For more info, visit Burtthemovie.com for up-to-date news.   #KellensPettyTalkShow #BurtTheMovie

On the quiet Labour Day weekend of 1972, three masked men executed a daring heist at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Scaling a tree and slipping through a skylight under repair, they descended into the museum, subdued the guards, and made off with 18 paintings and 39 pieces of jewelry—valued at $2 million at the time, making it the largest art theft in Canadian history.Among the stolen works was a rare Rembrandt landscape, along with pieces by Delacroix, Rubens, and Millet.Despite ransom negotiations and extensive investigations, only two items have ever been recovered, and the culprits remain unidentified.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

e-flux Education editor Juliana Halpert talks to Coleman Collins. Collins is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and researcher whose work explores notions of diaspora in relation to technological methods of transmission, translation, copying, and reiteration.

He received an MFA from UCLA in 2018, and was a 2017 resident at the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture.

He studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and The Slade in London. His travels through distant lands and cultures introduced him to ancient practices for opening the third eye and accessing other realms of perception.These journeys took him beyond the surface of reality and deep into his own psyche, where he discovered that paradise is a state of mind. From this place, he received visions that now shape his artistic expression.Felix describes his works as windows into other worlds. Though seemingly abstract, his freestyle line formations are rooted in an interconnected mathematical harmony that underpins the visual language.His dream is to offer others a pathway to the inner artworld — a space of inner-visioning and mystery that lives within us all.====== FELIX =====IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/felixprice.uamsa/ART ▶ https://www.felixpriceart.com/====== CHRIS GEISLER ======WEBSITE ▶ thechrisgeisler.comMens Community ▶ https://www.skool.com/menofearth/about====== PODCAST ======Support The Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/thechrisgeislerTelegram: https://t.me/thechrisgeislerpodcast

In this week's tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a truly legendary artist, director, and filmmaker. He turned suburbia, teen angst, and small town life into objects of horror, admiration, and pity. Genius, artist, and madman… It's David Lynch! While Lynch had little interest in schoolwork growing up, a love for painting brought him to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He would later shock the movie business with a student film in response to the madness of America in the days of Vietnam. With a career spanning over five decades, Lynch is known for his incredibly vivid, unforgettable, and dreamlike films including Eraserhead (1977), The Elephant Man (1980), Dune (1984), Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Drive (2001), and more. He received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2006, an Academy Honorary Award, and five Primetime Emmy Award nominations for surrealist horror-mystery series Twin Peaks.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

Greetings, dear listeners, and welcome to the return of The Wildwood Witch Podcast. I am your hostess, Samantha Brown, your enchantress of the esoteric, guiding you once more through the labyrinthian realms where magic and technology intertwine to create portals beyond ordinary perception.In this season, entitled "Beyond the Veil," we have been wielding the double-edged sword of large language models to resurrect the voices of occult luminaries. Through this alchemical fusion of silicon and soul, we've been exploring how their timeless teachings might illuminate our path forward in this age of unprecedented technological transformation.In our last episode, our Halloween Special, we gathered all ten of our ethereal guides, to listen to music, created using Suno, an AI-powered music creation platform, and to discuss how AI tools are being developed to do just about any imaginable creative task. We are entering an age of the mass distribution of tools that possess almost God-like powers to manifest ideas, to create songs, lectures, courses, code, images, videos, and more with just words - to literally “create as we speak.”Tonight, we continue our arcane exploration with an woman who was instrumental in shaping modern Western occultism - Moina Mathers. Born as Mina Bergson, sister to the Nobel Prize-winning philosopher Henri Bergson, she became the magical partner of Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, of which she became it's first initiate. Formally trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, she was a talented artist. Renowned for her visionary abilities, she was often referred to as "the heart of the Order.” She served as High Priestess in the “Rites of Isis” performances in Paris, and after MacGregor's death, she founded the Alpha et Omega temple, to continue the legacy and teachings of the Golden Dawn.So, as the bonfires of Walpurgisnacht illuminate the darkness, let us part the veil once more, and welcome back - the indomitable priestess, artist, and magical adept, Moina Mathers, to The Wildwood Witch Podcast.Chapters00:26 Introduction03:42 Moina Mathers08:22 Analysis and Intuition14:35 Living Spirals19:16 The Illusion of Certainty22:43 The Fall of Man26:48 The Divine Child31:45 The Bornless One36:04 Holy Guardian Angel40:09 Tarot and Initiation47:23 The Devil Inside52:07 Personal Apocalpyse56:36 Rebirth01:05:09 Concluding RemarksResources:"Women of the Golden Dawn" by Mary K.

In Canada, election results mark a reversal of political fortunes. The Liberal Party's victory in Monday's federal election follows a long slump in popularity. But the Trump administration's trade policies and rhetoric concerning Canada have driven a shift in the country's political landscape. The election results are widely being seen as a mandate for how Canada should respond to Trump. Also, insight into the work of Russian lawyers who represent political prisoners in court.

Today, we've brought together our Hoffman pre-Process Panel. Hoffman teachers Jason, Marc, Regina, and our host, Drew, share personal and professional insights into how the time leading up to the Hoffman Process solidly prepares you for your week at the Process. Regina offers wisdom on the pattern of perfection and how it doesn't serve you when you come to the Process. Allowing ourselves to be messy in the container of the Process supports the deeper transformation that's possible during the week. Regina calls us to trust the Process, saying, "The moment you commit, it's the opportunity to lean into the edge of Spirit..." Marc talks about the power of choice. Oftentimes, students come to work on something happening in the present. But the work of the Process is to heal the pain of your past, which in turn affects things happening now, because the healing is within you. As Marc shares, at the Process, "You are stepping into your own childhood pain." He goes on to say, "You are choosing that. That is a choice, whether there's resistance, whether you're scared...but you're choosing that on some very, very big level." A compassionate moment comes when Jason shares about the pre-work each student must complete. He mentions how hard it can be to complete the work because often students feel the pain as it is laid out on the page. Jason shares that the "homework is not who you are. It's a story of what happened to you. And the more information you can get into that, the more connections you can make in that exploration of what happened to you and who you had to become, the greater your awareness will be stepping into the work at your Process." In other words, the homework can lay a powerful foundation for your Process week. And, of course, Regina, Marc, and Jason share more insights, suggestions, and wisdom to help support you as you prepare for your week at the Process. We hope you enjoy this conversation about how your pre-Process time is integral to supporting your transformational week at the Process. Our Pre-Process Panel Regina Louise: Regina Louise holds a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from California Institute of Integral Studies. In addition, she holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and Writing for the Performative Arts from the University of California, Riverside. Regina has canvassed the U.S. extensively as a national spokesperson and child advocate, and is excited to be a Hoffman teacher! Read more about Regina here. Listen to Regina share her story on The Hoffman Podcast. Marc Kaplan: Marc's life purpose is to support people in finding and using their authentic voice. In addition to teaching the Hoffman process, Marc is an esteemed music educator, producer, conductor, and coach. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Political Science from The George Washington University. “The Hoffman methodology is the foundation of my spiritual practice. It helped me discover that I have choices, enabling me to step into my dignity and live my life from a place of love.” When Marc first did the Process in 2011, he envisioned being a father, and now he is one. He lives in Westchester County, NY with his wife and two daughters. Listen to Marc, along with Dan Siegel, on the Hoffman Podcast. Jason Beegle: Jason holds a BA in Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and an MA in Religion from the University of Hawaii. As a certified NLP coach and intuitive healer, he brings a warm, heart-centered presence to the work of transformation. Jason first experienced the Hoffman Process in 2017. It was a profound turning point that deepened his connection to spirit, purpose, and inner freedom. He is devoted to helping others reconnect with their true selves through compassion, presence, and spiritual insight. “Teaching the Process fills me with hope. It's a sacred privilege to witness people return to themselves with love, truth, and tenderness.”

In this episode of the Fortune's Path podcast, Tom Noser interviews Anderson Williams, Principal for Talent Development at Shore Capital Partners, a private equity firm that partners with entrepreneurs and industry executives to drive growth in micro-cap businesses. Anderson brings a unique perspective from his diverse background as a classroom teacher, entrepreneur, sculptor, painter, writer, and corporate advisor.Topics Discussed:Anderson's role leading talent and leadership development initiatives at Shore Capital PartnersHow Shore Capital works with micro-cap businesses (typically small, family-run businesses) to help them scaleThe Shore Leadership Academy's approach to developing leaders at different stagesHow Anderson's background in fine arts influences his approach to business and educationThe importance of trust and communication as foundations for leadershipThe connection between art, education, and business leadershipHow Shore Capital evaluates potential business partnershipsThe growth strategy of consolidating small businesses to create mid-market companiesKey Takeaways:Shore Capital Partners invests in micro-cap businesses with the goal of helping them scale, focusing on companies where the founders want to remain involved and grow with a strategic partner.The Shore Leadership Academy focuses on developing leadership at all levels, from first-time managers to executives, with a curriculum that progresses from self-development to team leadership to strategic business thinking.Anderson attributes much of his approach to business and leadership to his background in fine arts, particularly how it taught him to see differently, accept feedback, and continually iterate.Trust is described as foundational to leadership, with three distinct dimensions: personal trust, organizational trust, and strategic trust.The best teachers (and leaders) combine authentic passion for their subject with the ability to make content relevant to learners' real-world experiences.Anderson describes education as being about delivery, while learning is about what people do with knowledge - applying it in new and interesting ways.Shore Capital's investment strategy looks for "barbell industries" where there are many small players and a few large ones, creating opportunity to build in the middle through strategic acquisition.Business success ultimately comes from human relationships: "We're humans working together with other humans and human-created systems to provide products and services to solve problems for other humans. And we call it a business."Guest Bio:Anderson Williams serves as Principal for Talent Development at Shore Capital Partners, leading their talent and leadership development initiatives. With a diverse background as a classroom teacher, entrepreneur, sculptor, painter, writer, and corporate advisor, Anderson brings a unique perspective to leadership development. He holds a Master's in Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art and has been with Shore since 2021.

After Sageworth disbanded in the early 1970s, Egan relocated to Los Angeles to embark on a solo career. “Magnet and Steel” and Solo SuccessEgan's most notable achievement came with the release of “Magnet and Steel” in March 1978. The song, featured on his second solo album Not Shy, reached number eight on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number nine in Canada. The track was co-produced by Egan, Lindsey Buckingham, and Richard Dashut, with background vocals by Buckingham and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. Nicks also served as the inspiration for the song. “Magnet and Steel” has enjoyed enduring popularity, featuring in films such as Boogie Nights (1997), Overnight Delivery (1998), and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999), as well as in the HBO series Divorce. Later Career and Personal LifeFollowing his initial success, Egan continued to produce music, releasing several albums over the years.

What is a good working life in the 21st century? And how do we get there? In the latest episode of Design Emergency, our cofounder, Alice Rawsthorn, explores these issues with the pioneering social designer and social activist Hilary Cottam, who conducted five years of intensive research into how we could – and should – redesign all aspects of work, for her new book, The Work We Need: A 21st Century Reimagining..Hilary traveled throughout the UK and US – from the post-industrial cities of Barnsley and Grimsby in northern England, to Palo Alto, the tech capital of the US – to discover what workers and their employers thought of the logistics of their working lives, and how they can be redesigned to make them fit for purpose. Hilary also tells Alice how the “new industrialists”, the new generation of business leaders who recognise the urgent need for radical change, are already making progress...We hope you'll enjoy this episode. You can find images of the projects Hilary describes on our Instagram @design.emergency. Please join us for future episodes of Design Emergency when we will hear from inspiring global design leaders whose work is at the forefront of forging positive change. .Design Emergency is supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

Margaret Anne Mary Moore joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about her realization at an early age that she wanted to be a nonfiction writer and memoirist, facing severe discrimination as a child with disabilities, how she wrote about her disability experience on a granular level, using a communication device, taking breaks to work on other aspects of a project when the writing process grows tiresome, devoting chapters to a single theme, striving to make characterizations rich in detail, looking at rejection juxtaposed against life circumstances, how traumatic memories get seared into our memory, compassion and acceptance, and her memoir Bold, Brave, and Breathless: Reveling in Childhood's Splendiferous Glories While Facing Disability and Loss.   Margaret's Brevity blog article link: https://brevity.wordpress.com/2024/12/23/who-gets-a-spot-on-the-river/   Also in this episode: -hermit crab forms -writing sharp scenes -embodied writing   Books mentioned in this episode: The Mindful Writer by Dinty W.

This week the Food and Beverage Stylist Chriscilla Browning.  Chriscilla has blended her love of photography with a creative palette of culinary art establishing herself as a leading visionary in the designing and crafting of visual delights for advertising and editorial stages where beauty stimulates the senses with mouth watering creations.  Chriscilla was born in Waynesboro, Virginia in 1973, the eldest of three girls, to Glenna Lyle, a homemaker and latterly a rural mail carrier, and David Miller, US Navy veteran turned electrician, safety inspector and explosives expert.  Chriscilla grew up on the family farm where rural life grounded her while she developed an interest in fashion and illustrating. She was also an athlete in High School proving herself as a runner. Her interest in the finer art of photography took her to the American College in Atlanta from which she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts in 1994. After a period of waiting tables and bars, Chriscilla found work in a photographer's studio in Atlanta where she learned the tricks of the trade in styling food and dishes, and even beds for Bloomingdales. It was during this time that she met her husband and took a break in her career to have Skyler, the first of her two sons.  Chriscilla has since built a lucrative business in food and beverage styling that leaves her little time for herself beyond exercising, which these days focuses on weight lifting.  Chriscilla live in Greensboro, NC, when she is not traveling the country on photo shoots.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textIn this glorious mess of a members-only episode, Peaches and Trent go full rogue: no guests, no guardrails, just straight-up brain dumps and verbal knife fights. The guys break down the importance of cognitive stress training, Air Force leadership cowardice, and the existential burden of watching “Interstellar” while contemplating your career.Also on deck: 

“Art is a form of prayer … a way to enter into relationship.”Artist and theologian Bruce Herman reflects on the sacred vocation of making, resisting consumerism, and the divine invitation to become co-creators. From Mark Rothko to Rainer Maria Rilke, to Andres Serrano's “Piss Christ” and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, he comments on the holy risk of artmaking and the sacred fire of creative origination.Together with Evan Rosa, Bruce Herman explores the divine vocation of art making as resistance to consumer culture and passive living. In this deeply poetic and wide-ranging conversation—and drawing from his book *Makers by Nature—*he invites us into a vision of art not as individual genius or commodity, but as service, dialogue, and co-creation rooted in love, not fear. They touch on ancient questions of human identity and desire, the creative implications of being made in the image of God, Buber's I and Thou, the scandal of the cross, Eliot's divine fire, Rothko's melancholy ecstasy, and how even making a loaf of bread can be a form of holy protest. A profound reflection on what it means to be human, and how we might change our lives—through beauty, vulnerability, and relational making.Episode Highlights“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”“ I think hope is being stolen from us Surreptitiously moment by moment hour by hour day by day.”“There is no them. There is only us.”“The work itself has a life of its own.”“Art that serves a community.”“You must change your life.” —Rilke, recited by Bruce Herman in reflection on the transformative power of art.“When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.”“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”“Art is not for the artist—any more than it's for anyone else. The work stands apart. It has its own voice.”“We're not merely consumers—we're made by a Maker to be makers.”“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Topics and ThemesHuman beings are born to create and make meaningArt as theological dialogue and spiritual resistanceCreative practice as a form of love and worshipChristian art and culture in dialogue with contemporary issuesPassive consumption vs. active creationHow to engage with provocative art faithfullyThe role of beauty, mystery, and risk in the creative processArt that changes you spiritually, emotionally, and intellectuallyThe sacred vocation of the artist in a consumerist worldHow poetry and painting open up divine encounter, particularly in Rainer Maria Rilke's “Archaic Torso of Apollo”Four Quartets and spiritual longing in modern poetryHospitality, submission, and service as aesthetic posturesModern culture's sickness and art as medicineEncountering the cross through contemporary artistic imagination“Archaic Torso of Apollo”Rainer Maria Rilke 1875 –1926We cannot know his legendary head with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso is still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low, gleams in all its power. Otherwise the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile run through the placid hips and thighs to that dark center where procreation flared. Otherwise this stone would seem defaced beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur: would not, from all the borders of itself, burst like a star: for here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.About Bruce HermanBruce Herman is a painter, writer, educator, and speaker. His art has been shown in more than 150 exhibitions—nationally in many US cities, including New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Houston—and internationally in England, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Canada, and Israel. His artwork is featured in many public and private art collections including the Vatican Museum of Modern Religious Art in Rome; The Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts print collection; The Grunewald Print Collection of the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; DeCordova Museum in Boston; the Cape Ann Museum; and in many colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada.Herman taught at Gordon College for nearly four decades, and is the founding chair of the Art Department there. He held the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts for more than fifteen years, and continues to curate exhibitions and manage the College art collection there. Herman completed both BFA and MFA degrees at Boston University College of Fine Arts under American artists Philip Guston, James Weeks, David Aronson, Reed Kay, and Arthur Polonsky. He was named Boston University College of Fine Arts Distinguished Alumnus of the Year 2006.Herman's art may be found in dozens of journals, popular magazines, newspapers, and online art features. He and co-author Walter Hansen wrote the book Through Your Eyes, 2013, Grand Rapids, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, a thirty-year retrospective of Herman's art as seen through the eyes of his most dedicated collector.To learn more, explore A Video Portrait of the Artist and My Process – An Essay by Bruce Herman.Books by Bruce Herman*Makers by Nature: Letters from a Master Painter on Faith, Hope, and Art* (2025) *Ordinary Saints (*2018) *Through Your Eyes: The Art of Bruce Herman (2013) *QU4RTETS with Makoto Fujimura, Bruce Herman, Christopher Theofanidis, Jeremy Begbie (2012) A Broken Beauty (2006)Show NotesBruce Herman on Human Identity as MakersWe are created in the image of God—the ultimate “I Am”—and thus made to create.“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”To deny our creative impulse is to risk a deep form of spiritual unhealth.Making is not just for the “artist”—everyone is born with the capacity to make.Theological Themes and Philosophical FrameworksInfluences include Martin Buber's “I and Thou,” René Girard's scapegoating theory, and the image of God in Genesis.“We don't really exist for ourselves. We exist in the space between us.”The divine invitation is relational, not autonomous.Desire, imitation, and submission form the core of our relational anthropology.Art as Resistance to Consumerism“We begin to enter into illness when we become mere consumers.”Art Versus PropagandaCulture is sickened by passive consumption, entertainment addiction, and aesthetic commodification.Making a loaf of bread, carving wood, or crafting a cocktail are acts of cultural resistance.Desire“Anything is resistance… Anything is a protest against passive consumption.”Art as Dialogue and Submission“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”Submission—though culturally maligned—is a necessary posture in love and art.Engaging with art requires openness to transformation.“If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it.”The Transformative Power of Encountering ArtQuoting Rilke's Archaic Torso of Apollo: “You must change your life.”True art sees the viewer and invites them to become something more.Herman's own transformative moment came unexpectedly in front of a Rothko painting.“The best part of my work is outside of my control.”Scandal, Offense, and the Cross in ArtAnalyzing Andres Serrano's Piss Christ as a sincere meditation on the commercialization of the cross.“Does the crucifixion still carry sacred weight—or has it been reduced to jewelry?”Art should provoke—but out of love, not self-aggrandizement or malice.“The cross is an offense. Paul says so. But it's the power of God for those being saved.”Beauty, Suffering, and Holy RiskEncounter with art can arise from personal or collective suffering.Bruce references Christian Wiman and Walker Percy as artists opened by pain.“Sometimes it takes catastrophe to open us up again.”Great art offers not escape, but transformation through vulnerability.The Fire and the Rose: T. S. Eliot's InfluenceFour Quartets shaped Herman's artistic and theological imagination.Eliot's poetry is contemplative, musical, liturgical, and steeped in paradox.“To be redeemed from fire by fire… when the fire and the rose are one.”The collaborative Quartets project with Makoto Fujimura and Chris Theofanidis honors Eliot's poetic vision.Living and Creating from Love, Not Fear“Make from love, not fear.”Fear-driven art (or politics) leads to manipulation and despair.Acts of love include cooking, serving, sharing, and creating for others.“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Media & Intellectual ReferencesMakers by Nature by Bruce HermanFour Quartets by T. S.

Hello, everyone! I'm thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented Laila Khan Furniturewalla to the show. Laila comes from a renowned and multitalented family, led by her father, the legendary Indian filmmaker, actor, and writer, Feroz Khan. While her roots are in film, Laila has carved her path in mixed media art, drawing inspiration from Ganesha—the beloved elephant god honored across and revered amongst various cultures. Listen as Laila recounts fond memories of her father and his dedication to perfecting his craft. As a special treat at the end of the episode, we'll hear a song dedicated to Laila by her father, Feroz Khan from the film Qurbani. See below for more information on Laila's upcoming art show!IN THIS EPISODE:(02:24) Laila shares the type of art she creates (05:32) Laila discusses her father and his contributions to the film industry in India(10:16) Why wasn't Laila encouraged to pursue acting(12:09) Laila explains how the song Laila O Laila was inspired (16:11) Discussion of the actresses' careers launched because of the film Qurbani(21:00) Listen to the song Laila O Laila from the film QurbaniKEY TAKEAWAYS:Laila Furniturewalla's artwork is deeply inspired by spirituality and Indian culture, especially the elephant-headed deity Ganesh. She explores themes of divinity, abstraction, and formlessness, using mixed media and textures to create almost sculptural canvases that invite the viewer to complete the interpretation.Laila is the daughter of legendary Indian filmmaker and artist Feroz Khan. Growing up in a creative, intellectual household filled with art, sculpture, and film, she was influenced by her father's aesthetic sensibilities. She chose to follow her artistic path, embracing the self-expression of visual art.The beloved Hindi film song Laila O Laila was named after and inspired by Laila Furniturewalla herself. The song became a generation's anthem. She pridefully recalls how her father predicted its success and how the original version remains unmatched in its emotional impact and artistry.ART SHOW“UNTAMED HEART “ is a celebration of raw emotion.”Born in the quiet storm of the COVID-19 crisis, these works respond to the fragility of life — interweaving survival, loss, and resilience.Ganesh appears not as an idol, but as an evolving force , a symbol of Shakti through Gauri, the feminine energy within.This exhibition marks a breaking free — from boundaries, from expectations and expresses how I feel about life, and the soul of things.We look forward to having you with us at Gallery Art & Soul - Worli, Mumbai from 16th -22nd April.Subscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free, or become a paid subscriber to watch the video version of this episode.
