What is it that speaks to us across the ages when we are confronted with a great work of art? In this book, artist Dante Elsner reveals a life long exploration of the spiritual nature of art. His search for meaning in life following his experience in the Holocaust led to a moment in the Louvre Museum in Paris where he encountered a painting that changed the course of his life.
Based on a series of conversations with his son Jas Elsner, an art historian, about Dante’s views on Art, In the Spirit of Pilgrimage (Traditional Studies Press, 2014) represents a distillation of one man’s understanding of the spiritual practice of art.
