The Baron Journals
Visual artist Randall M. Hasson and poet Chris Baron have created a book called The Baron Journals.
A collaboration of visual and literary art, the book articulates the spirit of Baron's poetry by merging it with the disciplines of drawing, painting, and calligraphy. Our presentation encompasses both the artist's and the poet's perspective. The talk begins with an introduction to Chris's poetry as he reads selected poems. Randy then narrates the slides of his sequential artwork, delving into the reasons behind the symbolism, design, and execution of the pages.
Interspersed with Chris's poetry, the presentation allows listeners to gain insight and understanding of our calligraphic art from the perspective of one whose words we illustrate. Attendees are encouraged to participate in a Q & A session at the end of the presentation.
