Description of the exhibition.
During a major life crisis the 23-year-old Charlotte Salomon paints the story of her life: Born in Berlin in 1917, she emigrated to her grandparents in the South of France in 1939. When her grandmother committed suicide, Charlotte Salomon learned that her mother had killed herself as well…
Executed in three primary colours, the gouaches read like a series of story boards for a film, following the events of Salomon’s life. The works have been likened to a diary, but her account is fictionalized, with the main characters in Solomon’s life acting as the dramatis personnae. The gouaches speak to the drama of relationships and what it means to be human.

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art.
“Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon
