When Art Transcends What's 'Pleasing': Elevating Our Standards for Aesthetic Expression

In this richly illustrated presentation, JES Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Michael DeSanctis will offer participants a way of appreciating works of visual art, architecture, music and literature that challenge their existing definitions of what's "pleasurable" to the mind and senses. Concrete examples from each of these genres will be examined with the hope of provoking a lively discussion.
