United StatesTELFAIR ACADEMYMay 26–September 16, 2012The ever-popular collection of drawings, watercolors, and paintings by the Lebanese-born, visionary artist and writer Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931) will be on view again at the Telfair Academy beginning on May 26. Although best known for authoring The Prophet, a collection of short, philosophical essays that became one of the top-selling books of the twentieth century, Kahlil Gibran pursued visual art first. Beginning in childhood, his early efforts set him on a lifelong path of creativity that ultimately made possible his literary achievements. Inspired by painters from the Renaissance, the Pre-Raphaelites, the French Symbolists, and others, such as visionary William Blake, Gibran sought to express symbolic ideas about life, humanity, and the interconnectedness of all things in his own unique way.Click here for more information about this exhibition >>
