Episode 284: Humanity in the Arts (Part 2)
Hosted by Ranelle Wolf with Guest Gertrude Borchardt on hmTv
In Part 2 of Humanity in the Arts, host Ranelle Wolf continues her riveting conversation with curator and art historian Gertrude Borchardt, diving deeper into the spiritual and moral dimensions of art — from Salvador Dalí’s Aliyah: The Rebirth of Israel* to the role of abstraction in healing a post-war world.
Borchardt unpacks the myths surrounding Dalí’s alleged antisemitism, revealing a far more complex and empathetic artist whose Aliyah series radiates love, redemption, and faith. Together, Ranelle and Gertrude explore how art transcends politics, why abstraction emerged from the trauma of the 20th century, and how true education begins with learning to see — not just to look.
The episode culminates with a visionary discussion: what would a modern exhibition of Judeo-Christian values look like today? Borchardt imagines a spiritual, timeless show that could reawaken compassion, curiosity, and connection across generations.
🎙️ A profound exploration of art as the language of humanity, recorded at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County.
