....A meeting with Marie, Gusta, and Marta....

A very moving meeting while visiting the children's paintings section, done in II world war (in the years 1942-1944) in Terezin.

 

While observing the works done by the children, I have found a photo of one of Johannes Vermeer, the dutch painter( 1632-1675), and 3 Works done by MARIE, GUSTA, and MARTA, reffering to his work.Doing my serries of "Follow the light, hommage Johannes Vermeer"

HERE

 

it was so touching, taking into account the difficult condition of the children and still having the immagination to overcome the exterior and looking to the beauty of his work. I felt a strong connection with the memory of the children through a mutual love of the fine arts, and his work.

 

(It was photographed with the paintings under a glass )

Thanks, Pnina

 

Thanks

I recognised the famous picture of Vermeer in the lower left half. Very good exposure and compostion,Pnina.Your empathy is touching.

VERY NICE COLAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amal,thanks a lot, it was uploaded because I need it in my folder which is called "Museums", it will pass later on from the recently uploaded section. It is a very importent part of my people's history and my personal one.

 

Francesco, thanks as well.

 

Pnina

Great and very touching!

Armindo, thanks for having the sensitivity, I appreciate your understanding.

Pnina, here you use your art to convey the art of the children who also convey the art of Johannes Vermeer. Great! All art forms are such a strong way of expressing such feelings; when words are useless.

Mike, thanks for expressing it so beautifully.

 

Words are not adequate to express my feeling of connection to those children .

 

Pnina

Pnina, I can not help but feel these children's artwork have a very great meaning, a very sad meaning......I read a great deal about WWII from 1956 to 1994, originally out of respect for several uncles that fought in it......There is one thing for certain, I have read enough to realize how little I know about it.....I get the feeling something terrible went on at Terezin.......God bless and keep you, my friend.....Jim

Jim, thanks for you kind words, Terezin was only one of them.!

 

Mentally it was a close encounter with the 3 of them, through art.

Love this so much for its emotivity and for how it shows how children feel art !

Great idea Pnina !

Marielou, did not see you for a long time, I'm glad you have connected to me with this one that is a very precious image for me, Thanks, Pnina

Pnina, I just wanted you to know that there are a great many millions of people in this world that care a great deal about the terrible things that have happened to their Jewish cousins during the 1930's and 40's as well as what is happening now......Jim

Jim, thanks, I know there are many that mind, but many that are not.So we have to fight again.
