NYAB Event - "Oscar Cahén and Gershon Iskowitz: Artists Caught in Hitler’s Web" Exhibition

This event has ended.
At Horton Gallery (SUNDAY L.E.S.)
Media: Painting

Oscar Cahén (1916-1956) and Gershon Iskowitz (1921-1988 ) made important contributions to the evolution of mid-20th Century modernism. Both overcame horrific early life experiences during WWII. Their joyous mature art is testament to their triumph over adversity.

The world celebrates and chronicles the history of the artists and intellectuals who escaped to New York and North America to evade Hitler: 'the ones that got away'. Cahén and Iskowitz were not so fortunate; they were ensnared by Hitler's web: 'the ones who did not get away.'
