RECONSTRUCTION OF AN ARTIST'S LIFE: GENIA (GELA) SEKSZTAJN-LICHTENSZTAJN

LUBA K. GURDUS

New York

The personality of Genia (Gela) Seksztajn-Lichtensztajn (1907–43), traced through documentary evidence, art and writing, emerges in its spiritual wisdom and moral fortitude. She was so closely integrated with the Jewish Holocaust experience that her art reflects the sense of imminent drama in a singular merger of feeling and expression and her writing conveys an intuitive insight into the unsolvable problems of the Holocaust. Both contribute to a legacy of lasting documentary value, artistically, morally and intellectually.
