SUMMARY:Girl in Blue — The Nazi Looting and Post-War Recovery of Renoir's Portrait of a Jewish Girl in Paris
DESCRIPTION:1 PM LOS ANGELES • 4 PM NEW YORK\nIn 1941\, a specialized German looting unit in France plundered one of Renoir’s most haunting masterworks: La Petite Irène. In her deeply researched new book\, The Girl in Blue — Renoir’s Portrait of a Dynasty Erased\, author Doreen Carvajal reconstructs the intertwined wartime journeys of Irène Cahen d’Anvers — the Jewish model who survived in Nazi-occupied Paris while members of her family were deported and murdered — and of her famous portrait that was looted and passed through Hermann Göring’s hands. Their paths converge in a story of beauty and betrayal ― the painting a silent witness to what history tried to erase.\n \nxxxxx \nTHE SCHEDULE\n⇒ Sunday\, November 22 at 4:00 p.m. US Eastern Time\, tune into the program with our distinguished speakers.
