Figures of Anguish, Figures of Compassion: Pierre Daura and the Spanish Civil War
Daura was a socially conscious and committed humanitarian. Through 1936, he worked with the Spanish Embassy to aid Loyalist refugees displaced by the violence and corresponded with his family in Spain to ensure their safety. Tormented by the news of increasing atrocity and destruction in his homeland, Daura enlisted in the Spanish Republican Army in January 1937. This exhibition spotlight presents work from the Permanent Collection that reflect Daura’s centering of human subjects amidst war or violence, as well as works that display his emotional sensitivity, social awareness, and desire for compassion.
