Spirituality and Modern Art - A Talk by Peter Dornauf

Spirit of Art / Art of Spirit speaker series: “Spirituality and Modern Art” by Peter Dornauf, Artist and Art Historian.

Many people think that ‘religious’ paintings, (or works of art with some spiritual inclination), ceased with the advent of modern art. That is far from the truth. The secular age saw a hunger for meaning as Christianity began to lose its hold, especially with the intellectual set.

This lecture will traverse that historical narrative (1860 – 2019), examining art works that exemplify, in subtle ways, the spiritual impulse.
