Helga Hošková-Weissová – Paintings and Drawings

Catalogue for the exhibition of the same name at the Jewish Museum's Robert Guttmann Gallery, marking the artist’s 80th birthday. Helga Hošková-Weissová was one of the few child inmates of the Terezín ghetto to survive the war. She is known throughout the world for her unique set of drawings from the Terezín ghetto. The retrospective exhibition of her work to date includes examples of her series of paintings from the 1960s with motifs from the concentration camps and from Israel. In her late work, Hošková also documents the horrific experiences of her childhood, which influenced her whole life and work. More than a retrospective, this exhibition carries a powerful message and a warning for humanity.
