From early cave painters to the sinuous li nes and idealized forms of the Italian Renaissance\, to the calligraphic e nergy and spiritual resonance of Asian art traditions\, Susan will lead us to consider how the human impulse to leave a trace continues to evolve an d why it matters.
\nInspired by this exhibition\, speaker Susan Goet z Zwirn will trace the evolution of mark making\, the heartbeat of visual expression\, across time and culture.
\nOur journey moves from the s killed imagery of early cave painters working deep beneath the earth&rsquo \;s surface\, to the sinuous lines and idealized forms of the Italian Rena issance\, to the calligraphic energy and spiritual resonance of Asian art traditions and more.
\nIn an era of mechanized and digital image mak ing and cultural shifts\, what new meaning does the handmade mark carry? H ow do lines\, dots\, and brushstrokes direct our perception within this ha nd/brain connection? We will consider how the human impulse to leave a tra ce continues to evolve and why it matters.
