Women and children / Birkenau – femmes et enfantes

Celnikier, Izaak (1923-2011)

The extremely dramatic narration by Celnikier – the confrontation of naked women crowded on the left side of the composition with helmeted soldiers standing in front of them, in profile to the viewer – can be read as a scene of a mass execution. And distant inspirations may be found not only in Goya, but also in "Guernica" by Picasso. | AT
