This new Document Blogpost, by Rachel Perry, presents Elżbieta Nadel’s recently discovered early post-war graphic work The Black Album. It describes the research information on the provenance, technique, and composition of the work.

In addition, a comparison of the album and its drawings with an earlier album, Images from Home (made in Lviv, 1942), by the same artist allows for an analysis of the Black Album’s tone, style, content, voice, and point of view. The post follows the album’s bending to the pressures of its time and its function after the war.

This blogpost also presents several beautiful drawings from The Black Album and Images from Home.
