With her reading of a selection of works by Charlotte Salomon, Griselda Pollock takes a look at the oeuvre of an artist who was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943 because she was a Jewish woman. Already in 1940, Charlotte Salomon had been interned in the French concentration camp Gurs, where she began to produce expressionistic gouaches and transparent overlays. In only eighteen months she created an enormous narrative cycle entitled Leben? Oder Theater? (Life? Or Theater?), which encompasses 1,300 images and texts as well as musical indications for the singing of the texts. Salomon left the cycle, as a complete work, in a box with a doctor in Nice. The individual pages provide intimate insight into the intellectual world of a nameless person whose sole registration of her status as an artist is to be found on the Gestapo s deportation list, who did not sign her work, and who gained a name and thereby due recognition as an art maker only with immense delay. sakriti opis
