The Myth and Mystery of Salvador Dali and the Making of his Masterworks in "Aliyah: The Rebirth of Israel"

Art experts have long seen Salvador Dali as a flashy, flamboyant, intense, and eccentric enigma, never more so than when he created his brilliant series of artworks to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel.  But who was the man behind the paintings?  How did he become the brilliant technical virtuoso with the unique ability to create imagery plucked directly from his dreams?  And how did he come to honor the Jewish people with his genius?

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the webinar.
