Father Mother
Charlotte Salomon
Circa: 1942
In Father Mother, Charlotte Salomon uses vivid, expressive color and distorted figures to capture the emotional turmoil of life during the early 1940s. Part of her acclaimed series Life? or Theatre?, this piece explores themes of psychological distress, identity, and survival. The use of medical imagery juxtaposed with personal symbolism speaks to the trauma Salomon faced in her own life, especially the impact of mental illness and war on her family.
