In the Spirit of Pilgrimage
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 lifelong 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 Jaś Elsner, an art historian, In the
Spirit of Pilgrimage represents a distillation of one man’s understanding of the
spiritual practice of art.
Dante Elsner was a painter, a potter and a sculptor who thought deeply about the
theory and practice of art. He came to believe that art was of great importance to the
spiritual life of man.
