Ella Bergmann-Michel

Den Flüchtlingen Europa's gewidmet

1945

A dynamic composition rendered in ink, graphite, and watercolour on paper, this work by Ella Bergmann-Michel employs bold, gestural lines and expressive washes of colour to convey a sense of urgency and human displacement. Dedicated to the refugees of Europe, the piece reflects Bergmann-Michel's socially engaged practice and her commitment to bearing witness to the suffering of the dispossessed. The interplay of fluid watercolour passages with precise graphic mark-making creates a visual tension that underscores the precariousness of the refugees' circumstances.
