Informácie o knihe
When German artist&,nbsp,Charlotte Salomon&,nbsp,(1917–1943) handed her gouache series&,nbsp,Life? or Theater?&,nbsp,over to a friend, she beseeched him to “take good care of it, it is my entire life.” A few months later, the five-months pregnant Charlotte was picked up by a Gestapo truck, deported to Drancy, and then on to&,nbsp,Auschwitz, where she died upon arrival at the age 26.The work Salomon left behind is, in a very real sense, her piece de résistance – in her own words, “something wildly eccentric.” A cycle of&,nbsp,nearly 1,300 autobiographical gouaches, it combines creative force with pioneering personal narrative into one&,nbsp,shattering document of self-expression.Divided into three sections, the gouaches unveil a&,nbsp,vivid self-portrait&,nbsp,spanning across all facets of Charlotte's existence: from a complicated family life, marked by the suicides of nearly all female relatives, growing up in Berlin, her close relation to singing teacher Alfred Wolfsohn, the rise of the Nazis, to her exile to France in 1939. Throughout, the artist challenges these destructive forces by deploying playful pseudonyms and fantastical elements alongside&,nbsp,emotional candor,&,nbsp,remarkable observation, and a&,nbsp,meticulous visual memory. Her film&,nbsp,strip-like sequences&,nbsp,are interspersed not only with words but also&,nbsp,musical suggestions, making&,nbsp,Life? or Theater?&,nbsp,the storybook for a whole musical, years before the heyday of that genre.Without comparison, the gouaches are a&,nbsp,triumph of personal truth and individual expression. Published here with&,nbsp,a selection of the 450 most important pieces,&,nbsp,Life? Or Theatre?&,nbsp,is an&,nbsp,unrivaled&,nbsp,opus magnum&,nbsp,from a great and ambitious artist, dark with her early death, but luminous with her precision, her lyricism, and her courage.
