Museum of the history of Polish Jews
Part of the collection: The portfolio of graphics "La Mémoire Gravée" by Izaak Celnikier
From the tangle of lines and strokes, thickened to black spots or thinned to white clearances, the viewer's eye catches lamenting figures, slipping bodies, silhouettes leaning towards the abyss at the bottom of the composition. Towards the bottom of humanity. This time the artist does not divide the composition into horizontal strips, but the whole frame is quite evenly filled with vibrating semi-abstract arabesque.
