Additional information:
From December 15, 2023—March 18, 2024, The Jewish Museum, New York presented 7 October, 2023, an exhibition of drawings by Ukrainian-born, Israeli-based artist Zoya Cherkassky.  The twelve works on paper that comprise the exhibited series were made in response to the harrowing events of the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks. Cherkassky started making these drawings about a week after the war began, when she left Israel with her young daughter, grabbing pencils, wax crayons, watercolors, and whatever supplies she could fit in her luggage. The resultant works are immediate, visceral, and gut-wrenching.

They constitute the artist's  singular, personal and intuitive reaction to the ongoing conflict. Shocking depictions of kidnapping, destruction, and anguish are portrayed in a graphic and legible style that is easily understood. At the same time, her imagery draws upon a long history of artistic representations of war, from Käthe Kollwitz to Pablo Picasso. Cherkassky’s childhood in the Soviet Union, where socialist realism was the norm for visual art, exposed her to the impact of this kind of realism, often with a strong political message.

The limited edition box set, published by Fort Gansevoort,  reproduces imagery from the twelve original drawings by Zoya Cherkassky.
