While fleeing from the Nazis and living in exile in the Cote d\u2019Azur, a young artist was to realize one of the most unusual works in the history of art. Over the course of 18 months, Charlotte Salomon painted over 1,300 gouaches documenting her short but dramatic life. She compiled the vast work, which encompasses biographical and fictional elements, into a series entitled \u201cLeben? Oder Theater?\u201d (Life? Or Theatre?). It is a work of poignant beauty, one that crosses genres and is a testament to the artist\u2019s unshakeable will to live. A work that embraces different forms and styles, disarranging and recompiling them, and placing them in new contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
