Lydian Book Club

Lydia Art Salon has shifted from being “just” a gallery to an intimate salon setting. Of course the emphasis is still on art. What has changed is how you experience art. We are fully embracing the concept of the slow art movement. One of the ways we would like to curate a culture surrounding art is providing a bookclub, chosen by the artist Lydia is showcasing. This event submission aims to get that information out, in hopes to build a community that interacts with the exhibition. The books chosen this exhibition is The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington & Dear Sarah Bernhardt by Françoise Sagan.
The Hearing Trumpet is a 1974 surrealist novel by British-born Mexican artist and writer Leonora Carrington, whose artwork was part of the 2022 Venice Biennale called The Milk of Dreams, the name itself being a quote from one of Carrington’s wild children’s books, which she wrote and illustrated.
The second book chosen is Françoise Sagan Dear Sarah Bernhardt (French: Sarah Bernhardt, le rire incassable, 1988). Her Dear Sarah Bernhardt is a delicious and mischievous, imaginary correspondence and biographical portrait of the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt.
