WARSAW GHETTO STARVATION (A)
Acrylic and graphite, 18x24", 2025
This painting is the first WARSAW GHETTO STARVATION (A) of three paintings of this subject (WARSAW GHETTO STARVATION (B) and WARSAW GHETTO STARVATION (C) Every painting is a learning experience for me, and with this series, I continued to experiment with color and its effect on the subject.
Are they seen? I costumed STARVATION (A) as a ghost, and STARVATION (C) in the bright red cassock of the roman catholic church, quite passive and collaborative with the nazis.
This boy is eating a moldy crust found in the gutter. Alone, abandoned, shaking with fever, afraid. A million miles away from everyday holiness. One of the thousands of homeless children who died of starvation in the Warsaw Ghetto.
-In the Holocaust Art Research Center permanent collection of Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, Jerusalem.
