And They Took Their Colors

New work by Sabina Saad © dealing with the subject of the artists who perished during the Holocaust

Technique: three-dimensional;; acrylic on palette cut from wood, and brushes

Size: 45 X 29 X 10

This Work is meant to be displayed alongside a blank canvas to inspire the viewer to think about the enormous amount of works that we lost because the artists were murdered , or because their works were destroyed by the Nazis.

Concept:

The place for colors in the palette is covered with yellow stars uprooted from their places.

It is noteworthy that the dominant color in most of the works of artists who perished during the Holocaust (with few exceptions) was the black color.

Readers are invited to add in the COMMENTS section names of artists that perished during the Nazi Era

Christian Hexagram at the Templar Cemetery in Jerusalem

Hexagram on the Grave of Maria Goth (1909-1985) from Ramat Gan

Cross over Six-pointed Star

-

German Colony neighborhood was founded (1873) by the German Protestant community of the Temple (Tempelgesellschaft), which have no connection with the order of the Knights Templar. Their Cemetery started in 1878. The members of this group were expelled by the British authorities in 1948 because some of them were members of the German Nazi Movement.

So this Hexagram seems to belong to an Israeli Christian citizen, which had no connection to either of the above mentioned communities.
