Shadows and colors of a Moroccan exile

Paintings of Jacqueline Mathis-Brodskis

Pioneer spontaneous art workshops in Morocco, Jacqueline Mathis-Brodskis has created around it a momentum that has contributed to the development of contemporary Moroccan paintings.

French born in 1912, and Jewish orphan, she is then secured to the painting as a means of salvation. It will take him to twenty years in Morocco, Rabat. She never left the country of voluntary exile which will remain faithful, like painting.
Her work tends red thread that runs through without showing, entire personal history as a universal. During the thirties and the Second World War, under the Protectorate, and in the Moroccan independence for which she fought until the end of the twentieth century, Jacqueline Mathis Brodskis-lived, painted and taught Maroc.Aux budding artists or not, any style and any age. This retrospective reflects both the straight and determined that guided the byways of a creation that is not locked up in a unique style, "how to". However, his manners are all approaches, recurrences, incursions in full color pictorial universe. Only the shadows disappear tables, and for good reason. Subtracted from view by heat tones, they reveal the flaw that breaks these children's eyes, surprised and seriously or in the faces of women, featureless, abstract world when the body continues to work.
Keys to dancing on the canvas models meet motionless, as if frozen in the painter's gaze without knowing who observes that with more attention. This applies to us as well: these paintings, under the guise of walk in the sun, we confront internal exile.
