HA-BANOT SHELANU (A) (Our daughters)
Acrylic and graphite, 24x18", 2025
Gender and age could no longer be a factor in finding shelter in the ghetto. Here are two sisters, orphaned, unable to find shelter, one still living, one finally at peace. Which one is better off?
This is the first (HA-BANOT SHELANU (A) (Our daughters)) of three paintings of this subject (HA-BANOT SHELANU (B) and HA-BANOT SHELANU (C)). Every painting is a learning experience for me, and with this series, I experimented with color and its effect on the subject. Compare versions (B) and (C), especially the eyes of the living sister, flesh tones, and facial modeling of the dead sister..
-In the Holocaust Art Research Center permanent collection of Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, Jerusalem.
-Solo exhibit Gross-Rosen Muzeum, Rogoznica, Poland.
