daliel's Gallery
daliel's (usually spelled with a lowercase 'd', and sometimes just as 'daliel' ) Gallery was a display and performance space in the San Francisco Bay Area in the U.S. state of California in the 1940s and '50s.[1] George Leite opened daliel's on the 2400 block of Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, as a combination bookstore and art gallery in 1945, naming both after his newly born son, Daliel. daliel's Bookstore was also the home of Circle Magazine[2] and Circle Editions. Artists featured in the gallery included painters, sculptors and printmakers, as well as jewellers, musicians, and modern dancers.[3] One show in 1950 was by a group of nuns from Oregon who had been taught in a summer class at their college by Jean Varda.[4]
