Description
An oil on canvas portrait of a carnival reveler by listed artist Nathan Wasserberger. Signed in the upper right corner.
"Widely collected and admired in Europe and the United States, Nathan Wasserberger was born in Chrzanow, Poland in 1928.
As a young man, he witnessed first hand the horrors of World War II including the death of friends and family and is himself a survivor of Buchenwald. Despite these early challenges, he went on to study at the Academy Julien in Paris and at the Art Students League in New York. Early in his career, his paintings reflected the unbelievable injustices committed by the Nazis upon himself and millions of other innocents.
This brooding period was soon replaced by introspective expressions of the joy of life and a celebration of beauty and sensuality. Yet, concealed in every painting, there is a touch of sadness, a carry over of his experiences as a young man. Perhaps also a comment upon the unceasing suffering that still haunts humanity today."
