Between Materialism and Spiritualism: Modern Art Reconsidered

The Lakehead University Department of Philosophy Presents The 2023 Morris Public Lecture 

"Between Materialism and Spiritualism: Modern Art Reconsidered"

Some modern painters saw a specific painterly materiality as an expression of something spiritual. This lecture will explore this kind of unique split between positivist materialism and spiritualism in the history of modern art.
