Art, History, and Resilience Take Center Stage at San Francisco Towers
Resident Helen R. and the Program Committee recently hosted an engaging author talk with writer Pamela Reitman, who discussed her new book Charlotte Salomon Paints her Life: A Novel. The book follows real-life painter Charlotte Salomon as she works to complete her major artistic project under the shadow of the Third Reich.
Pamela shared a slideshow of Salomon’s artwork and photographs, and spoke about how art can transform trauma and how historical fiction blends fact and storytelling.
It was an insightful event and a great example of the diverse programming offered at San Francisco Towers.
