JÜDISCHE MINIATUREN 184A LEA GRUNDIG - MARI...

In 1944 The German-Jewish graphic artist Lea Grundig (1906-1977) wrote while in exile in
Palestine: An artwork that no one has seen is like a dead object. In Nazi Germany  she had
never had the chance to show even a single piece of work in public. The expressive series of
etchings that capture her experience of the fascist reality are factually created in
illegality. After multiple arrests  she finally manages to save herself by fleeing the country.
In 1940 she survived the sinking of the Patria in the port of Haifa. Once in the country  she
created many drawings on the fate of the Jewish people. They were a call for help to the world
for it not to shut its eyes and ears to the murder and terrible atrocities  and not to stand
idly by. In addition to the artistic working through the Shoah  Lea Grundig became an important
illustrator of Hebrew children's books during this period - a skill that she fully develops on
her return to Germany in 1949 with great masterfulness in the illustrations of Grimm's fairy
tales. Her self-portraits bracket her significant body of work.
