Secondly they arise from having lived in Bucharest for 4 years from 1951-55, where at the art institute I was befriended not only by Romanians who had terrible stories to recount - but also by Jewish Romanians and Hungarians, who had somehow survived the horrors of the Fascist Iron Guards." Spring:"The time of new growth, upthrusting optimism, luminous landscape, of vigorous dancing, high kicking and leaping - parts of dismembered human figure played - the Nazis made lampshades of human skins" Estimate $1,500-2,500 Condition: Work in good condition with no faults to report.
