Inquiry into the purpose and meaning of art has led artists everywhere to look more deeply into experience in the world, and to perpetually reinvent the parameters of what art can be, in a very personal way, through a process that is as poetic in its pictures as it is painterly in its poems. Elvire de Baere has created a series of reflections that honor life and condemn barbarity in the most tender and human ways. In her work, we find a recognition of the darkest realities of the Second World War, yet simultaneously an affirmation of spirit and compassion, an artistry dedicated to the redemption of human grace and dignity. Ms. de Baere has combined exquisite paintings with poignant verse, bringing new expression to the heretofore silent and unheard, and illuminating the emotional depths of the tortured souls of six million dead.
