  • Charlotte Salomon (April 16, 1917 - October 10, 1943) was a German-Jewish artist born in Berlin. She is primarily remembered as the creator of an autobiographical series of paintings Leben? oder Theater?: Ein Singspiel consisting of 769 individual works painted between 1941 and 1943 in the south of France, while Salomon was in hiding from the Nazis. She was captured and deported to Auschwitz. Because she was pregnant, she was shot and killed by the Nazis immediately upon her arrival at the concentration camp.
  • Charlotte Salomon war eine deutsche Malerin.
  • Charlotte Salomon, née à Berlin en 1917 et morte en 1943 à Auschwitz est une artiste plasticienne et peintre.
  • Nata in una famiglia benestante, il padre Albert era un medico-chirurgo, trascorse la sua infanzia felicemente fino a nove anni, quando sua madre improvvisamente si tolse la vita gettandosi da una finestra. Il fatto fu tenuto nascosto a Charlotte per molti anni. Fu il nonno a rivelarglielo, svelando quello che era stato l'epilogo di altre quattro donne della famiglia. La stessa Charlotte soffrì di gravi crisi depressive, dalle quali però seppe riemergere sempre con grande forza, grazie al suo lavoro artistico. Muore a 26 anni nel campo di concentramento di Auschwitz. Tutta la sua produzione è contenuta in 1325 fogli realizzati tra il 1940 ed il 1942 con la tecnica del "guazzo" nei quali racconta tutta la sua vita: l'infanzia felice, gli studi accademici, la rielaborazione del suicidio della madre, la fuga dal nazismo fino ai giorni prima dell'arresto. Un percorso interiore che già dal titolo appare significativo: Vita? O Teatro?. La sua opera, completa anche di testi e musiche, è cadenzata come un vero e proprio copione teatrale. Nel racconto della tragedia Charlotte riscatta la sua personalità di donna, una donna che per mezzo della propria arte, fuggendo ogni vittimismo, si scrolla di dosso gli orrori che la circondano. L'intera sua opera si trova al Joods Historish Museum di Amsterdam.
  • Charlotte Salomon was een Joods-Duitse schilderes. Als kind van geassimileerde Joodse ouders groeide zij op in Berlijn. Haar vader was arts. Haar moeder pleegde zelfmoord toen Charlotte negen was. Haar latere stiefmoeder was zangeres. In september 1936 werd Charlotte toegelaten tot de kunstacademie. Toen zij een prijs beloofde te winnen, kwam uit dat ze Joods was en moest ze de kunstacademie verlaten. In 1939, na de Kristallnacht vluchtte ze op advies van haar vader en stiefmoeder naar haar grootouders die in Zuid-Frankrijk woonden. Op advies van een arts begon Charlotte te schilderen. Zo ontstond de meer dan 1300 autobiografische gouaches tellende reeks "Leben? oder Theater?". Dit omvangrijke expressionistische kunstwerk rondde ze in 1942 af. In het Vichy-Frankrijk waren Joden niet veilig. Samen met haar echtgenoot Alexander, een Joodse vluchteling uit Oostenrijk, werd ze op 24 september 1943 opgepakt en naar Auschwitz getransporteerd waar ze op 10 oktober 1943 werd vermoord. Zij was op dat ogenblik vier maanden zwanger.
