"Anguish of Liberation as Reflected in Art"
Tuesday, April 15, 2025 10am
Event Details
This special display, based on the collection of the Yad Vashem Art Museum, features works created between 1945 and 1947 and attempts to investigate how survivors reacted to the liberation through art. For most of these survivor-artists, the ability to paint again signified freedom and renewed independence. The choice of their art’s subject and the grip on the pencil or brush symbolically restored a feeling of control, after years of helplessness. The act of painting represented a process of psychological rehabilitation through which they could synthesize the trauma.
This exhibit will be available to be viewed mid-April outside of the Ackerman Center (JO 4.800) in the JO-FO Skybridge.
Please join us for a special viewing of the exhibit and on April 30 at 4pm in the SP/N with a panel discussing liberation.
