“Don Giovanni's Eucharist and the Decadent Aesthetics of Arthur Lourié” explores how in his articles “Art and Sin” (1956) and “Variations on Mozart” (1930) the Russian composer Arthur Lourié intersects aesthetics, ethics, and religion, combining the decadent allures of his youth with Pushkin's poetic ideas of erotic energy; Kierkegaard's philosophy of the sensuous; Vladimir Solovyov's views of love; Nicolas Berdyaev's emphasis on the role of creativity in Christian philosophy; and Jacques Maritain's ideas on creative intuition. As “Art and Sin” amply demonstrates, the result of such diverse impulses is not necessarily coherent, but it perfectly exemplifies the intellectual stimuli of Maritain's (and Lourié's) circle in the 1920s and 1930s in Paris. Lourié's Christianized vision of the erotic can be read both from an angle of the Russian Silver-Age and from that of Maritain's bold Catholicism.
