Please join the 2026 Sant Jordi lecture by Dr. William Jeffett (Senior Curator at The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida), "Alberto Giacometti and Salvador Dalí: Through and Beyond Surrealism." The lecture will take place on April 23 at 12:00 PM in Room 252 (German Library), Pigott Hall.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the Department of Art & Art History, DLCL, ILAC, CompLit, FRIT, and the Iberian Studies Program at the Europe Center. A reception will follow at the Oregon Courtyard at 5:00 PM.

"The lecture will address both artists' works considering their parallel and divergent backgrounds in provincial Switzerland and Dalí's native Catalonia, their intersection and collaborations in Parisian Surrealism and striking aspects of their later works which reveal a surprising dialogue."

Please RSVP for the Sant Jordi 2026 Lecture by Dr. William Jeffett and the reception to follow.

We look forward to seeing you at both occasions!
