RESERVATION REQUIRED by February 27
In 1894 Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish captain in the French army, was wrongly accused of passing military secrets to the Germans. He was convicted of high treason, courtmartialed and deported to solitary confinement on Devil’s Island. France was split into a fierce antisemitic, promilitary right-wing camp and a republican, liberal, leftwing camp. Shockwaves were felt in the circle of Parisian artists as well. Part, I will discuss the Dreyfus Affair in detail, including what led up to virulent antisemitism in France during the latter part of the 19th century and the role art and artist-activists played. (Part II is Tuesday, March 18.) Sponsored by the Van Winkle Foundation.
