Torah, Art and the Creative Process

At its source, art is a paradox–giving physical form to faith in the One God, Who has no form. In this audio meditation, Harav Ginsburgh delves into the primordial essence of God that is the root of artistic expression. When we understand the process by which God created the ultimate work of art–the world–we can also find the point in our own psyche that is the source of all creativity. Topics covered in this lecture include: The four meanings of the root of faith; The Kabbalistic model of point, line, area; How does the Garden of Eden reflect the artistic process?; The two levels of pleasure expressed by art; Why are talented artists often on the verge of insanity?; The equality of everything, anything and nothing; Why must nothingness overpower omnipotence in order to create?
