To Paint is to Live: The Artwork of Erich Lichtblau-Leskly, both in-person and online Feb. 19.
To Paint is to Live explores the life and work of Erich Lichtblau-Leskly, a Czech Jewish artist who used art and satire as tools for coping and resistance while imprisoned in Theresienstadt Ghetto during World War II. The exhibit features 65 original paintings and drawings by the artist and runs through May 30.
âThe exhibit title
To Paint is to Live is a direct depiction of how Leskly faced and survived an unimaginable situation,â said Molly Dubin, Jewish Museum Milwaukee curator. âHe later told family members he had to paint to keep his sanity; if he couldnât paint, he couldnât live.â
