SUArt Galleries Film Series Double Screening: "Portrait of Wally" and "The Desert of Forbidden Art"
(Movie / Films)
The SUArt Galleries will present encore presentations of the films "Portrait of Wally" and "The Desert of Forbidden Art." Parking is available on campus in the Q4 lot.
At 2 p.m. will be "Portrait of Wally." Egon Schiele's tender picture of his mistress, Walburga ('Wally') Neuzil, is the pride of the Leopold Museum in Vienna. But for 13 years the painting was locked up in New York, caught in a legal battle between the Austrian museum and the Jewish family from whom the Nazis seized the painting in 1939.
"The Desert of Forbidden Art" is the incredible story of how a treasure trove of banned Soviet art worth millions of dollars stashed in a far-off desert of Uzbekistan develops into a larger exploration of how art survives in times of oppression.
