Shelomo Selinger: Les Camps de La Mort--Dessins D'Un Rescape: Memoire D'Outre-Vie/The Death Camps--Drawings by a Survivor: Memoir from B
Sixty years after a Red Army doctor snatched him from the jaws of death at Theresienstadt, Shelomo Selinger unveils sixty drawings based upon his own concentration camp experience. Needless to say, nothing he draws is fictional, as he himself was an inmate in nine different camps. The artist had already established himself as a fine sculptor when, some twenty years after taking up the chisel, he started working with charcoal and ink. Like Goya, Selinger is more than an artist of the horrors of war, especially when he uses line to describe what he lived through. In this medium, we become most aware of his great mastery. These drawings are terrible testimony to the unthinkable atrocity of the Shoah. They are also masterpieces from the art of the second-half of the twentieth century.
