Our registration system currently has a glitch where it only allows you to register for the online, if you prefer to join us in the library we will have plenty of seating.

Works by Surrealist artist Salvador Dali are slated for exhibition in Chicago in early 2023. Learn about this important painter, filmmaker and sculptor from art historian Jeff Mishur in this virtual program. Jeff will discuss such Dali masterpieces as "The Persistence of Memory," "Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (A Premonition of Civil War)," and "Apparition of a Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach." Mishur will also discuss Dali's role within the 20th century Surrealist art movement and especially the relationship between dream imagery and the artist's best known works.

Jeff will be presenting virtually through Zoom.
