Aesthetic Realism Foundation

This class studies the art of the world — from the Rembrandts at the Met to the latest work in Chelsea — with this great Aesthetic Realism principle, stated by Eli Siegel, as the basis: "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves." The class will be held in museums, galleries, and at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation. 

Note: Since many museums charge admission, the museum fees will be additional.
