Erna Rosenstein: On the Other Side of Silence

Look for

• Screens, 1951

  Look for the heads of an older woman and a man hovering before a blue rectangle, a tree growing out of shadow beside them: her murdered parents.

• Monuments, 1955

  A surreal landscape of bone-like stelae rising into a red sky, hung opposite her first postwar paintings at the start of the show.

• Ghetto, 1946

  An expressive painting made right after the war, which Falter reads, with its neighbour Looters, as a direct accusation of inhumanity.

• In weiter Ferne (Far Away)

  Her parents' heads, drawn tenderly in pencil, float in a dusky red-brown landscape, and her father's head dissolves into dots.

• The wooden cabinet

  A wooden box Rosenstein kept all her life, its surface collaged with keepsakes, which the curator singles out as a witness to memory.

Good for

• Going Solo
• Locals Who've Seen It All
• Nerding Out
