| Maryan Burstein was a Jewish concentration camps survivor, having been interned at the beginning of the war, in 1939, and freed in 1944. He subsequently lived in Germany until 1947, then in Israel, where he studied in the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem. From 1950 to 1962 he lived in Paris, and then moved permanently to New York, becoming an American citizen. During the Paris period he painted a series of Judges and one of Dead Dogs. He constructed his own grotesque artistic language in order to deal with the enormity of the horrors he and his world had endured in the Holocaust. His works show figures, judges, clowns, men in uniform, expressing the cruelty, sadness and ambiguity of the human condition. His painting figure in museums and public collections worlwide. |
