Opis

ABOUT THE BOOK ANNE FRANK IN MY ART introduces the reader to the array of artworks about Anne Frank which the artist-author Judith Weinshall Liberman created during her long career in visual art. Works about Anne Frank from Ms. Liberman's various series about the Holocaust - the HOLOCAUST PAINTINGS, the HOLOCAUST WALL HANGINGS, and the SELF PORTRAITS OF A HOLOCAUST ARTIST - are here presented to the reader for the first time in one volume. The clear text and the accompanying images of the artworks combine to throw light on the scope and meaning of the artist-author's artwork about Anne Frank, the Holocaust's best-known, young victim. ABOUT THE ARTIST-AUTHOR Born in Israel (then called "Palestine"), Judith Weinshall Liberman came to the United States in 1947 to pursue higher education.

Her art has been widely exhibited, and is represented in the collection of museums and other public institutions.
