Preparatory Notes: Occidental Art and Mythology

June 10, 2018 Larry Barnett

As a teacher, Kurt was always preparing for his lectures, keeping notes and developing topics and themes for presentation.
          In this set of class preparation notes for Occidental Art and Mythology in 1979, we find Kurt pulling from his deep education in art and culture as well as from news articles in the San Francisco Chronicle. It's unlikely that these notes were for just one lecture, but it's possible. His madness was his method; he lays it out this way: "...the stage show, slides in class, acting-micro theater within theater, demonstrations within the theater as they belong to the algebra or application through variables while in the theater of teaching, where something is shown as in the Elusinian Epoptea."
