Lecture on Kafka’s last love Dec. 12 at Beverly Hills art gallery

BEVERLY HILLS, California  (Press Release)–Explore the intriguing mysteries surrounding three of Lee Waisler’s portraits on the closing day of his About Faces exhibition at Sundaram Tagore Gallery in Beverly Hills on Sunday, December 12 from 3 to 5 pm: Literary genius Franz Kafka, his last love Dora Diamant, and Kafka’s friend and literary executor Max Brod, whose archive in Tel Aviv is making international headlines.

The informal talk by Kathi Diamant, Adjunct Professor and Director of the Kafka Project at San Diego State University, will offer a look at the magical intersection of art, love, loyalty, and literature.

Lee Waisler’s art is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY, the Smithsonian Institution and Jewish Museum in Washington DC, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the National Gallery of Modern Art in India. In this new series of three-dimensional portraits of historical and contemporary figures, the artist presents a global group of iconic figures spanning different disciplines, from Albert Einstein to Leonard Cohen.

Kathi Diamant is author of Kafka’s Last Love: The Mystery of Dora Diamant, a literary detective story about the remarkable woman who captured Kafka’s heart and kept his literary flame alive for decades. As founder/director of the Kafka Project, for over a decade she has led the authorized search to recover the lost writings of Franz Kafka, confiscated from Dora by the Gestapo in Berlin 1933.
