THOSE LITTLE MOMENTS OF FREEDOM

Illustration Art

MARCH 10, 2007

My eye is always drawn to those little places in a picture where the artist takes the liberty to play with abstract design. Sometimes you'll find artists indulging themselves when they depict folds , or water. Often you find them sneaking it in when they portray hair. In this Joe De Mers picture (which I borrowed from Leif Peng's excellent Today's Inspiration blog) contrast De Mers' tight, disciplined treatment of the face and hands with his wild treatment of the hair.

Edward Galinski, a Polish student, scratched this portrait on the wall of cell 18, block 11, at Auschwitz. Edward was imprisoned by the Nazis in 1940 for opposing Germany's invasion of Poland. He worked at forced labor in the camp. One day, Edward was assigned to repair buildings at the women's camp next door. There he met Mally Zimetbaum-- a beautiful, doe eyed girl imprisoned for being a Jew.
