Seventy-five of Sri Chinmoy’s Jharna-Kala, ‘Fuente de Arte’, paintings are exhibited (8-29 July) for the first time in Latin America at Centro de Bellas Artes in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
Some opening day comments from the guestbook:
“Beautiful, inspiring peace and love.”
“The art, the ambience are a road to achieve peace.”
“Infinitely beautiful.”
During the exhibition, actress Lupita Ferrer, who starred with Anthony Quinn in some of his films, comes to visit, saying that the paintings gave her more peace than she had had in a very long time.
John W. L. Russel, the United States Cultural Attache in Venezuela, also visits and says that he wished he could own all the paintings.
In addition, every local newspaper covered the exhibition.
On the closing day, a special function is held for the public, with a selection of Sri Chinmoy’s music played by a cellist from the Maracaibo Symphony Orchestra.
