Lilli Gettinger: Memory Transformed

April 12, 2008—August 1, 2008

Lilli Gettinger (1920-1999) fled Nazi Germany in 1938, eventually settling in the Princeton region. Her polychrome relief sculptures and pastel drawings, which reference the terrors of the concentration camps, as well as her own harrowing escape from Germany, are intermingled with allusions to literature, music and the Bible. Gettinger's work is a reflection of our common humanity: by choosing the positive forces of love and beauty to transform our own lives and memories, we can triumph over the forces of destruction.
