The 1966 painting Farewell by American artist George Tooker, which reflects on the loss of his mother, will be the launching point for a timely and sensitive discussion of love, loss, and rites of passage. We will also look at the differences among societies and cultures in coming to terms with the death of a loved one, and the role of art and ritual in mediating the transition between the living and the dead.
