Event Details
Go To the Desert; Go to the Devil:
The Temptation of St. Anthony and the Desert Experience in the Art of Salvador Dali
Father Robert Keffer discusses the “Desert Experience of Conversion.” Using three paintings by Salvador Dali as reference, he explores the connection between the classical definition of spiritual temptation as found in the writings of the Church fathers, and their relevancy to the Freudian visual self-analysis found in Dali’s early surrealist works. Fr. Keffer will compare the conversion experience to Dali’s own development as an artist in the painting The Temptation of St. Anthony, later expressed in the classical mystical work The Ascension. This Coffee with a Curator presentation will be of interest not only to artists, but to theology and psychology students as well.
Cost: Free (parking is free for members; $10 parking for non-members)
Location: Raymond James Community Room
Coffee with a Curator is sponsored by Cafe Gala.
