Miriam Cahn
In her oil paintings as well as charcoal, chalk, graphite and color pencil drawings, photographs, films and installations Swiss artist MIRIAM CAHN (*1949, Basel) explores political and social themes. Cahn’s works are characterized by an intense color palette combined with recurring motifs of violence, tenderness, war, devastation, and physical vulnerability. Commenting on her own work in writing is central to Cahn’s artistic practice. She examines her own works, reflecting on art and current affairs, and often juxtaposes her texts with her artworks in exhibitions and publications.
ÉCRITS DE COLÈRE is the first text-only compilation of her writing, and includes essays, journal entries, and correspondence with friends, foes, family members, and gallerists. The book provides deeply personal insights into Miriam Cahn’s life, her family, and the art industry, introducing the reader to a pugnacious, independent spirit.
The Swiss artist MIRIAM CAHN (*1949, Basel) deals with political and social themes in oil paintings; charcoal, chalk, and colored and lead pencil drawings; and in photographs, films, and installations. Strong color is characteristic of her work, forming a stark contrast to the recurring motifs of violence, tenderness, war, destruction, and physical infirmity. Her habit of commenting upon her work in writing is a golden thread running throughout Cahn’s career. She illuminates her own art, commenting in the process on art and world events, and she sets up the texts opposite her artworks in exhibitions and publications.
