Happy Monday from Lilith! Enjoy Nancy Graves' work "5745," silkscreen printed in colors. 
--
"5745, the Hebrew date for 1984, evokes a celebration of creation and life. Among the visual motifs included in this print are a 2nd Century Roman terra cotta votive offering of a woman’s head crowned with a wreath (upper left) and a fragment of a 4th-5th Century Byzantine mosaic of a dove (lower right)."

Discover the gorgeous art of Lili Ország, who drew inspiration from Jewish gravestones in Prague. 

As @nwaldnerauthor writes for Lilith, Ország was raised in a prosperous Jewish family in Ungvár (present day Uzhhorod, Ukraine). At the age of fifteen, her entire life was upended by the Nazi occupation of March 1944. 

Her family were forced into the ghetto in the Moskovitz brick factory, and in May they were herded onto the cattle cars bound for Auschwitz. Ország only narrowly avoided the death camp when her family were allowed off the train due to her father’s impeccable WWI service record. 

The family obtained false papers, converted to Christianity, and for a time Lili Ország became Éva, a Catholic refugee from Transylvania. She survived the rest of the war in Budapest, eventually enrolling in art school. 

This was just the beginning of a prolific artistic career that spanned over 20 years.
