Holocaust Project: From Darkness Into Light [Hardcover]

Judy Chicago (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1993

In 1985 Judy Chicago and her husband, photographer Donald Woodman, began an imaginative journey into the grim terrain of the Final Solution. The descendant of 23 generations of rabbis, she brought with her the growing artistic and intellectual vision that has resulted in such internationally renowned exhibitions as "The Dinner Party", "The Birth Project" and "Power Play". This is her account of the artistic process, and a display of the art that emerged from it. The book represents art and autobiography, a moral inquiry and a record of an artist's discovery of her Jewishness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Holocaust Project: From Darkness Into Light (Mass Market Paperback)

A terrific book by one of the most famous feminist artists. When one considers the cruelties of males against Jewish women during and after the Holocaust, it is a pleasure to discover this book, which shows Judy Chicago's passionate work to remind us of the horrors while also discovering her Jewishness just as she contemplated the victimization of the Jews. I love this book.

This review is from: Holocaust Project: From Darkness Into Light (Hardcover)

A wonderful collection of artwork that ranges from the history of the Holocaust to how it's dangers are still present in modern society. I have the honor of attending a university that is displaying the artwork and the having the artist visit. It is a must see for every race and nationality. If you are unable to see the work in person, this book is a MUST have!
