Very interesting!
Karl Stobbe brought a wonderful perspective to the art of music
and painting. Fascinating!
Thank you, Karl, for your music and your insights into the Puglia painting of St. Cecilia. I just visited the WAG last week and spent some time in the Salon Style exhibition.
That was not only an enticing morsel for the intellect but it was also a feast for the heart and soul. Karl Stobbe’s narrative was passionate without being contrived. Love the partnership of musician as narrator for the artist.
This is fascinating and enjoyable. Thank you to Karl and the WAG.
A beautiful mix of art and music. Informative.
Hoping to visit the Art Gallery soon.
