Chemical Rainbows and Liquid Crystal Souls: The Spirit of Alchemy in the History of Art
"In medieval Europe, alchemy was known as the Great Art; in Islam, it was simply "the Art." In this lecture, David Brafman, associate curator of rare books at the Getty Research Institute and curator of the exhibition “The Art of Alchemy,” explores this mysterious and misunderstood subject and its influence on artistic practice and expression from antiquity to the present day."
