Fritz Hirschberger: The Sur-Rational Holocaust Paintings

Survivors share a special vision of having been victims of the Holocaust. Non-survivors cannot possess the same vision. Survivors possess memories that others can comprehend only in indirect ways. In some respect, the only “authentic” Holocaust art may be said to be the art of the survivors.  Fritz Hirschberger’s Sur-Rational Paintings fit into this category. The paintings represent an attempt by Hirschberger as survivor and Jew to depict his impression of historical events and his own emotional and frequently cynical responses to events of the Holocaust.

Using a “naïve” style of representation combined with familiar themes from Christian art, plus Renaissance-like silky finish on his oil paintings, the artist provides the viewer with unique insights into the Holocaust.

Twenty works of oil on canvas and are available for loan without rental charge. Museum quality space and security required. Lending institution pays transportation and insurance. Paintings are packed in wooden art crates.

The Fifth Horsemen

The Fifth Horseman series of twenty paintings represents Fritz Hirschberger’s second foray into the difficult subject of representation of the Holocaust. The intensity of that experience upon him has made him obsessive about transmitting the message to the next generation of young people, as well as reminding adult audiences that genocide is not something planned and carried out by children.

Twenty works of oil on canvas and are available for loan without rental charge. Museum quality space and security required. Exhibitor institution pays transportation and insurance. Paintings are packed in wooden art crates.

Lucien Philippe Moretti: Lithographs

The art of Lucien Moretti combines the keen observations of a dedicated people-watcher and the talents of a gifted draftsman. Moretti is never without his drawing pad, always capturing interesting characters and faces. His sensitivity to the complexities of the human being enables him to capture a variety of emotions. As a result, his oils and lithographs are populated with a concentration of activity and people. The series shown relates to the occupation of France by the Germans in World War II. Some scenes are lyrical, while others focus on the choas the war produced and the victimization of the Jews. The images here may have been originally from an artist's book of high quality entitled UN SAC DE BILLES (1975). All are lithographs.
