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.
