Martin, How wonderfully said.

Our collective humanity…....view it now on redbubble :)

Thanks Martin! Lee Miller was a wonderful photographer, rather overshadowed at the time by her paramour Man Ray.

Wonderfully put together Martin – and wonderful the preciousness of shared unity

Thank many thanks for both women…......

Thank you for sharing your wonderful insight…our lives will be so much the richer for it…

I am old enough to have seen the Hitler pictures when they first appeared in Life and the newspapers. I saw A Fredia ’ exhibit years ago. To see these works is something. Going through the Art Initute of Chicago and the museun in SF or any other is a grest experience. RB gives me that feeling also.
Art changes with each generation, yet stays the same. We each get the feelings you describe, isn’t wonderful.

Thank you for sharing this.

Great posting. Thanks for sharing..

Absolutely AMAZING, Thanks for Sharing…...
GOD BLESS

Perfection!!!...)o(

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. It is such a beautifully sensitive expression of what you saw, and I’m sure it conveys what many feel about what we see happening both on RedBubble and in other art platforms around us.

I remember Lee Miller back in the 50’s when I was a small child about 6 years old and school friend of her son. At Christmas Lee and her husband Roland Penrose, threw wonderfully generous parties for us children complete with Father Christmas. Our parents came too and I remember the gaiety.

At their house I still remember what were to me some weird paintings. They were by Picasso and Max Ernst. One of them was ‘Celebes’. I remember Roland Penrose asking me what I thought it was. “An elephant.” I said.

art speaks volume to the observer…RB is doing just that!!! Brave RB!

thankyou martin for sharing your exsperience with us ,what a deep exspression piece.

My uncle has just finished a book on Buchenwald and we had to look at so many photographs. I have actually been to both Buchenwald and Auschwitz and can’t tell you how the memories of that still haunt me. Lee Miller was a remarkable woman and one that I respect and love. I can understand your excitement at seeing all these varied and interesting works. It just brings our lives to a better perspective and may make us realise how lucky we are in living today. It’s great to read about your trip and your admiration for fellow artists! Thank you for sharing this with us all!S

Right on! Humanity , it’s spirit and it’s art is what real living is all about

Inspiring – thank you.

thank you for this

Yep! It’s what art is ll about isn’t it? Forget the money, art is about communication…...I guess I’ve had a pretty good life as I seem to do ‘beauty’ a lot, oh as well as the occasional environmental statement…..both are real art to me…...love RedBubble and all you do….wow what a community!

Art is a common denominator…...no matter where no matter when…

Beautiful words. Powerful and moving. Thank you for sharing that with us all!

LaDiva could not have expressed it better.

Your passionate response to art echoes the redbubble freedom to express, openness and a supportive community, Hitler and other dictators destroyed art and free thought.

well lucky you wish i was in frisco checking out Frieda Kahlo works that would of been a great experience

Well … written … Lovely
