Documenting History Through Art
Documenting History Through Art
Documenting History Through Art shares David Labkovski's life-story as seen in his artwork. His story begins with his childhood memories of the thriving Jewish community of Vilna, it then moves to his experiences in a Soviet Gulag prison camp. In 1946, Labkovski returns to Vilna; it is there that he learns of the murder of the Jewish community at the hands of the Nazi occupiers and local collaborators. Along with depictions of the physical destruction of the city, his work is a heart-wrenching depiction of the Holocaust in Vilna. In 1958, Labkovski immigrates to Israel. Eventually, his work reflects the resilience of the human spirit with still-lifes and cityscapes full of life and color.
Recalling a Lost World: David Labkovski Brings Sholem Aleichem's Stories To Life!
Recalling a Lost World shares the illustrations of Sholem Aleichem's characters and stories. Labkovski saw Aleichem's stories as a muse to recreate the "world that was". The stories were written for a Yiddish-speaking, Jewish audience living in the Pale of Settlement at the turn of the century; however, the themes and beloved characters are universal in their appeal.
Labkovski blends the fictional world of Sholem Aleichem with the world of Labkovski's own past. The characters from the stories blend with the real people of Vilna. Labkovski's artwork brings the characters into the world of the Jewish community under the Nazi occupation; they are depicted wearing the "yellow Star of David" in the Vilna ghetto. The exhibit concludes with the physical destruction of Vilna representing the Holocaust; over 95% of the pre-war Jewish community was murdered during the Holocaust.
