Blog #20 David Olere Art Gallery

Which piece of art do you view as the most powerful? Explain your answer.
The most powerful one for me was selection for gas chamber. To me watching a child scream for their mother to not be killed, or having a mother watching their child be killed is something you should be sent straight to hell for.

Do you think art depicting the Holocaust makes people more aware of this terrible tragedy? Why or why not?
I think it does, because art is something that people can take in different ways, youre able to see more hurt and more pain

What effect does the art have on a person viewing it for the first time?
Anger, hurt, sympathy

Compare and contrast two pieces of Olere's paintings. Note the similarities and differences.
All of his paintings are to show a horrible event, but in some the people are skinner and bigger.
