As spring blooms outside, Portland's art scene is shifting to portray deeper themes beyond mere aesthetics. While the Portland Art Museum showcases a vibrantly pastel Monet exhibit and Japanese prints, other galleries like the Oregon Jewish Museum focus on generational trauma through the lens of Holocaust survivors. The exhibit, 'Survival and Intimations of Immortality,' showcases the works of the Cahana family over three generations, highlighting their artistic expressions stemming from past horrors while addressing modern societal issues of erasure and propaganda.
Survival and Intimations of Immortality traces the ways generational trauma manifests in artworks, highlighting the connection between past and present experiences of the Holocaust.
The Portland Art Museum has been showcasing Monet's works extensively and linking them to Japanese prints, reflecting on influences across cultures and time.
