\"Hannel-01\"<\/p>\n

After my trek to the Guggenheim, we headed to a few other places, including the Leslie Feely Fine Art Gallery<\/a> to see an exhibit of collages and box constructions by Hannelore Baron, an artist Benedicte spoke very highly of.\u00a0 The pieces on display were primarily from private collections and her estate. I found the work haunting.\u00a0 The more I read about her, the more I found myself looking deeper into her pieces.\u00a0 I learned Ms. Baron was born in 1926 in Dilligen, Germany to Jewish parents who were the owners of a small textile shop.\u00a0 During “the Night of Broken Glass,” she witnessed Nazis horrors, including the destruction of the shop and her father beaten with a hammer. You can read more about her from this news release from Stanford News Service<\/a>\u00a0 and this Wikipedia<\/a> page. Eventually she and some of her family managed to get out of Europe and settled in the Bronx where she studied\u00a0costume<\/span> design.\u00a0 Sadly, she suffered from depression throughout her life, had the first of three nervous breakdowns after age 20.\u00a0 She died in 1987.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Michael Kimmelman, from a The New York Times, October 1, 1993 described the defining characteristic of her work as fragile, “both physical and spiritual-the sense of quiet, private anguish expressed through forlorn materials and cryptic, edgy scrawls.”\u00a0 Here is another New York Times review<\/a> on her work.<\/p>\n

Photographs were allowed, and I share several images below.<\/p>\n

From the catalog, ” Everything I\u2019ve done is a statement on the, as they say, human condition…the way other people march to Washington, or set themselves on fire, or write protest letters, or go to assassinate someone. Well, I\u2019ve had all the same feelings that these people had about various things, and my way out, because of my inability to do anything else for various reasons, has been to make the protest through my artwork…”<\/i> H.B.<\/p>\n
