For decades, she avoided local museums. As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger did not feel able to exhibit in Germany. For the first time, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen can provide an overview of the work of the painter, psychoanalyst, philosopher, and peace activist born in Tel Aviv in 1948. Early on, Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger, short BRACHA, used the copier, mixed ash into pigments, and questioned documents of mass murder regarding their representability. In her paintings, female victims of the Shoah encounter female figures from ancient myths. At K20, alongside new paintings, examples of her early work from the 1980s are shown, as well as artists' books in which BRACHA comments on current events with drawings and ink paintings.
