Скачать или смотреть Felix Nussbaum - The Holocaust Artist

Apocalyptic landscapes. Nightmarish scenes of war and cruelty. Faces of despair and malevolence. These are the paintings and artwork of an incredibly rare sort. A type of art that is brutally heart breaking, and provides art with arguably one of the most tangible insights into human suffering during the horrors of The Second World War. These are the paintings of the German-Jewish, surreal artist Felix Nussbaum, who during the midst of The Second World War, would tragically fall victim to one of humanity’s darkest era’s in history and capture his suffering on canvas. What is now known as The Holocaust, a mass genocide of millions of innocent Jewish Europeans carried out by Nazi Germany, is something that still bitterly haunts the minds of many people even to this day. And there is just something particularly palpable about witnessing the horrors that these people experienced, through the art of paint, that truly delivers the essence of one person living amongst suffering victims of such an event.

His surreal style of painting heightens specific feelings and perspectives of the concentration camps through metaphoric imagery, exaggerated features and warped perspectives. As if storytelling from the perspective of a dream or a nightmare. The fate of Felix Nussbaum and his family consists of the desperate efforts to find shelter and refuge on foreign soil. A terribly sad story of the history of one family among many, that found itself in the middle of a hopeless and doomed situation. Eventually entering Auschwitz, and sadly neither him or any of his family, would leave alive. These paintings not only tell his story, but from a certain perspective, the story of many other victims of the Holocaust and what it was like to experience such horrific torture and violence by Nazi Germany. This is the story and artwork of Felix Nussbaum.
