Gallery Talk: Exile Art

Tobias Feldmann, PhD student in German and Comparative Literature, discusses archival material and new works on view recently added to the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum’s permanent collection display on exile art, including such primary sources as letters, notes, articles and other personal and official documents. Joined in conversation by Sabine Eckmann, William T. Kemper Director and chief curator, the talk will give a glimpse into the vast sociopolitical network of World War II exiled artists in the United States, their process of immigrating into the country, and the way these artists and their work were received. Organized by the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.
