Portraits

2009 · Painting

Weidenbaum has painted portraits from his very first steps as an artist. Not beautifully outlined figures, but a search for the inner person. In the words of Andrei Tarkovsky: ‘The artistic image is a grain; it is a symbol of actual life. Life contains death. An image of life, by contrast, excludes it, or else sees in it a unique potential for the affirmation of life.’
