Chasing Bruno Schulz: Benjamin Balint with Joshua Cohen Thu. Oct 19, 2023 7:00pm - 8:00pm EDT Celeste Auditorium (Lower Level) The New York Public Library, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, 42nd Street & 5th Avenue New York, NY 10018 Free - Please register here <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.showclix.com/event/benjaminbalint/tag/ms__;!!KGKeukY!0qcoaVMjvPS2usNyAxBoOhS2BLWF_Yuh67xhkxRHMpOmsk2ed1fvLTOXvEtPnhRnrMdOUgrT54V0ZaQfHDXOGkCpdA$ > Balint discusses his fresh portrait of the Polish-Jewish writer and artist and the gripping account of the secret operation to rescue Schulz's last artworks. Isaac Bashevis Singer called Bruno Schulz "one of the most remarkable writers who ever lived." A master of 20th-century imaginative fiction who mapped the anxious perplexities of his time, Schulz was also a talented illustrator and graphic artist whose masochistic drawings would catch the eye of a sadistic Nazi officer. Drawing on extensive new reporting and archival research, Benjamin Balint's new biography follows the murals Schulz painted on the walls of an SS villa into multiple dimensions of the artist's life and afterlife. Sixty years after Schulz was murdered, his murals were miraculously rediscovered, only to be secretly smuggled by Israeli agents to Jerusalem. Balint speaks with Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Joshua Cohen about the ensuing international furor that raised questions about who has the right to curate orphaned artworks and to construe their meanings—and about who can claim guardianship over the legacy of Jews who were killed by the Nazis. *The annual Joy Gottesman Ungerleider Lecture explores themes represented in the holdings of The New York Public Library's Dorot Jewish Division. This series has been made possible by a generous grant from the Dorot Foundation.* Free - Please register here <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.showclix.com/event/benjaminbalint/tag/ms__;!!KGKeukY!0qcoaVMjvPS2usNyAxBoOhS2BLWF_Yuh67xhkxRHMpOmsk2ed1fvLTOXvEtPnhRnrMdOUgrT54V0ZaQfHDXOGkCpdA$ > To join the event in person | Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins.
