A Virtual Zoom Event: Salvador Dali: A Look at His Jewish-Themed Works and His Pro-Fascist History

Sunday, March 12, 2023 19 Adar 5783

4:00 PM - 5:30 PMZoom (call for link)

Kol Shofar welcomes Carol Salus, Professor Emerita of Art History at Kent State University, as she shows the works of and discusses the surrealist artist. Dali is known for his paintings with their detailed, dream-like imagery. But with the rise of antisemitism in the 1930s, Dali painted several works that showed interest in Nazism and Hitler. He was exiled from the surrealists for his political views. Decades later, Dali was selected by the state of Israel to create works for its 20th anniversary. The talk raises the question of how to evaluate Dali’s radiant Jewish-themed works and his feelings about Jews and if we can separate the man from his art?
