"Between normality and horror: Jewish plastic artists from Oradea and the tragedy of the Holocaust"
Through an art exhibition at Palazzo Calepini in Trento we can experience passing from normality of inter-war years to the horror of wartime, and back to "normal" life.
The exhibition "Between normality and horror: Jewish plastic artists from Oradea and the tragedy of the Holocaust" - organized by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Trento e Rovereto, in collaboration with the Honorary Consulate of Romania in Trentino Alto Adige and the Museum "Tarii Crişurilor" of Oradea (Romania) – can be visited from 27 January to 1 March in Trento at Palazzo Calepini (Via Garibaldi 33).
It’s the first time that this collection of 66 paintings have been exhibited in Italy.
Six of the Jewish plastic artists, whose works are on display, died in the Holocaust: Ernő Tibor, David Jándi, Jószef Klein, Ernest Grűnbaum, Barát Móric e Leon Alex.
The exhibition also includes those artists who captured the invisible evil in the calm that surrounded them; though well hidden, this gangrene was increasingly invading society and normality. From this point of view, Alex Leon’s creations convey the most powerful message.
The exhibition is open from Monday to Friday, from 15 to 20; on Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 18. During the visit you can get audio files with your handy for further information about the exhibition.
