| 2005 Summer Seminar |
—Michael Newberry
Course Description:
Art and philosophy share similar methods and a common subject matter: humanity and its context. Artist Michael Newberry will call on three decades of his painting to show how an epistemology of reason, earthbound perception, and idealism inform his works; and how the act of integrating the whole is a quest of exaltation.
Michael Newberry submerged himself in the world of Rembrandt at 12 years old and has been an artist ever since. He has worked out of studios in New York, Holland, and Greece. For a couple of years his article, “Terrorism and Postmodern Art,” was #1 on Google search engine for “postmodern art.” On May 6th, 2005, he will have an exhibition of recent work at Akhriev Hefferlin Fine Art in Chattanooga. He is the director of The Foundation for the Advancement of Art. And he is currently working on a book, tentatively called Explaining Postmodern Art, in collaboration with philosopher Stephen Hicks.
