About the exhibition:
SOSHANA UNFORGETTABLE
Soshana: 1927-2015
Soshana (Susanne Schüller) was born in Vienna /Austria in 1927. Soshana chose a career in art above all else and faced the challenges that came her way. Soshana‘s oeuvre comprises over seven thousand paintings & works on paper. A lifetime of travelling, searching & painting. She is one of the few Austrian artists to arouse International interest. At eleven she witnessed the annexation of Austria causing her to leave and changing her life forever, she used her art to deal with these traumatic events. In 1945, Soshana married artist Beys Afroyim. In 1946 their only child Amos was born. They divorced in 1950, she put Amos in the care of her father and went off to study art and follow a full time career as an artist in Paris. Soshana travelled the world and is often called a collector of worlds. She painted portraits of many well known personalities and her art developed in many directions. Soshana lived and worked among the artistic and intellectual avant-garde in Paris and New York & had encounters and relationships with central figures of her time, like Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, J.P. Sartre, Albert Schweitzer, Arnold Schönberg and many more. Picasso invited her to Vallauris to stay with him but she decided against this as she wanted no help in making her own career as an artist. Up to 1948, Soshana’s art remained faithful to a compact, colorful and expressive Social Realism. Later her style changed to abstract art strongly influenced by Asian calligraphy. Surrealistic motives in Flamboyant colours came from her travels to Mexico
Although she devoted a big part of her work to the abstract art, Soshana never completely gave up the representational and kept interweaving occasional figures into her paintings. A lonely figure or a dark silhouette run like a red thread through Soshanas’ whole work a result of her life experiences and extreme loneliness. From the 2000s, the character of her style seems almost childish and naive; the structures are more quiet, the colours clearer and the forms more simple. The motives and pictures are little riddles full of irony. Soshana continued to travel until she moved back to Vienna due to health problems in 2005. Thereafter, she moved to a nursing home and continued to paint. Her son, Amos continues to manage and promote her work. In 2008, the Austrian National Library took over her creative estate, comprising manuscripts, photos, letters, documents etc. and made it available for public consultation. Soshana’s life and art are truly Unforgettable in all its joy, sadness and loneliness.

Soshana
Oil on canvas, portrait of Isaku Yanaihara, 1956, 92cm x 74cm

In 1953 Soshana worked in Paul Gaugin's former studio (and previous Alfons Mucha's) in the Rue de la Grande Chaumière, Montparnasse.
Friendship with sculptor Alberto Giacometti.

Isaku Yanaihara regularly sat for Alberto Giacometti. Having come to France in 1954 to study philosophy at the Sorbonne, he met the artist for the first time in November 1955 for an interview. He quickly became the model for several portraits in 1956, then during his stays in 1957, 1959, 1960 and 1961.

Soshana Afroyim (1 settembre 1927 - 9 dicembre 2015 ) è stata una pittrice austriaca del periodo del Modernismo . Soshana era una artista a tempo pieno e viaggiava spesso, esibendo il suo lavoro a livello internazionale. Durante i suoi viaggi, ha interpretato molte personalità famose e la sua arte sviluppata in diverse direzioni. La sua opera d'arte del primo periodo era in gran parte di natura naturalistica , mostrando paesaggi e ritratti . In seguito il suo stile si sviluppò verso l'arte astratta , fortemente influenzata dalla calligrafia asiatica.

Parigi 1952-1954
Dopo il trasferimento a Parigi, Soshana visse e lavorò nell'ex studio di André Derain . Alla fine si trasferì in un altro studio a Impasse Ronsin, vicino a Brâncuşi Diventò molto vicina all'artista, che descrisse come amandola come una figlia. Più tardi, ha vissuto in un altro studio che era prima di proprietà di Gauguin .
Soshana ha lottato finanziariamente come una artista a tempo pieno a Parigi. Lo ha descritto come un "Bittersweet Time". Conosceva gli artisti Kupka , Auguste Herbin , Ossip Zadkine , César , Pignon , Bazaine , Max Ernst , Yves Klein , Alexander Calder , Wifredo Lam , Sam Francis , Jean-Paul Sartre , Affandi , Lain Bangdel e Marc Chagall . Considerò Alberto Giacometti uno dei suoi migliori amici.
Nel 1953, Soshana incontrò il gallerista di Zurigo Max G. Bollag, che divenne un importante promotore del suo lavoro.
A Parigi, Soshana ha avuto diverse mostre nella Galleria André Weil e Salon d'Automne , nel Salon des Réalités Nouvelles e nel Salon de Mai , dove ha incontrato Pablo Picasso per la prima volta. La invitò a fargli visita nella sua villa a Vallauris e ne disegnò un ritratto nel 1954.
