"Charlotte Salomon (1917-1943) is renowned for her monumental Life? or Theater?, which
comprises 784 paintings the artist created in France between 1941 and 1942, before
she was sent to Auschwitz where she was killed in 1943. In this in-depth monograph
of the iconic work, Griselda Pollock offers a complex reading of Salomon's unique
combination of image, text, and music. Without underestimating the tragic violence
of her death in the Holocaust, Pollock seeks to reveal the artist's place within European
modernism. In addition to discussing how Salomon's project resonates with the work
of those who shared her situation of menaced exile, such as Walter Benjamin, Sigmund
Freud, and Hannah Arendt, Pollock reveals how Life? or Theater? raises the issue of
sexual abuse of women within the artist's family. Full of close visual analysis, this
groundbreaking book offers new insight into Salomon's powerful work in its historical
and cultural moment"
