Disappearing portraits of Jewish women can be seen at the Polish Institute in Berlin at Paweł Kowalewski's exhibition. The new exhibition of works from the series “Power and Beauty” opens on July 9. In 2015, Paweł Kowalewski created a series of disappearing paintings. “Power and beauty. A Very Subjective History of Polish Mothers” are large-format portraits of women of Jewish origin living during World War II, including a portrait of the artist's mother. The works were painted with a special paint, which will fade quite a bit over time, turning portraits into abstract shadows. It is a commentary on the human tendency to forget, disrespect or even contempt for history, which the artist perceives as extremely threatening. The project is a tribute to the young women who lived during the war and the heyday of the two largest totalitarian regimes. The works are accompanied by extremely poignant stories of portrayed heroines. The exhibition was presented, among others, at The Artist's House gallery in Tel Aviv, the Museum of Photography in Krakow and the NS-Dokumentationszentrum in Munich. With each exhibition, the works fade more and more, disappear irrevocably. The opening of the exhibition will take place on July 9, 2024 from 19.00. The exhibition will last until August 30, 2024. Admission is free. You can't miss it!
