The Aesthetic Realism Theatre Company presents
HOW SHOULD A PERSON BE SEEN?
A dramatic enactment of Mr. Siegel’s great lecture,
Weblog of Aesthetic Realism Consultant Nancy Huntting. News, events, links on poetry, literature, the visual arts as explained by Aesthetic Realism, the philosophy founded by poet and educator Eli Siegel.
The first was a smash--sold out--audience, including me, LOVED it. The big meaning of it!
“Rock ‘n’ roll has the answer to people’s problem of, on the one hand, wanting to be very private and sad, and on the other, wanting to have something like sunlight and public force. Every person has to make a one of the most secret thing in him and the most public thing. Rock ‘n’ roll shows it can be done.” AESTHETIC REALISM FOUNDATION

"A wife is a tremendous point in emotion, accompanied by a clear legal situation. In being married, women are saying they want a man to affect them. Yet in being affected, they don't want to lose themselves. So they face the aesthetic problem of how to have themselves by giving themselves to another."
"As the groom in this painting embraces his bride, Rembrandt shows visually that a man's desire to embrace a woman and his desire to understand her can be the same thing!"
