Miriam Cahn: ÉCRITS DE COLÈRE

The Swiss artist MIRIAM CAHN (*1949, Basel) deals with political and social themes in oil paintings; charcoal, chalk, and colored and lead pencil drawings; and in photographs, films, and installations. Strong color is characteristic of her work, forming a stark contrast to the recurring motifs of violence, tenderness, war, destruction, and physical infirmity. Her habit of commenting upon her work in writing is a golden thread running throughout Cahn's career. She illuminates her own art, commenting in the process on art and world events, and she sets up the texts opposite her artworks in exhibitions and publications.

About the Author

Die Schweizer Künstlerin MIRIAM CAHN (*1949, Basel) setzt sich in Ölmalereien, Kohle-, Kreide-, Farb- und Bleistiftzeichnungen, Fotografien, Filmen und Installationen mit politischen und gesellschaftlichen Themen auseinander. Charakteristisch für ihre Werke ist eine starke Farbigkeit, die mit den wiederkehrenden Motiven Gewalt, Zärtlichkeit, Krieg, Verwüstung und körperliche Versehrtheit starke Kontraste bildet. Ihr Schaffen selbst schreibend zu kommentieren, zieht sich dabei als roter Faden durch Cahns künstlerischen Werdegang. Sie durchleuchtet ihre eigenen Arbeiten, kommentiert dabei das Kunst- und Weltgeschehen und stellt die Texte auch in Ausstellungen und Publikationen den Werken gegenüber.
