Anna, I share the sadness of all of us which you stated so clearly and eloquently. I fear for the future of our beloved Israel, which has become a pariah state so quickly. Only a few months ago, we were the envy of most of the world- truly "a light among nations." We have become a nation of darkness to much of the world and to many of our fellow Jews as well. As is said in a popular Israeli song, we have nowhere else to go.

Thank you so much, David. It’s true that the pendulum swung so fast and it is a scary reality for Jews right now, but we will prevail and overcome, we always do. Am Yisrael Chai!

Thank you, Anna, for sharing the inspiration, the difficulty, and the importance of the arts at this time. Your painting is powerful and beautiful. We in Canada have had many cancellations like the ones you report. More power to all the brave artists who record and help to make meaning of difficult times and difficult themes. We need you.

"We Will Dance Again" is SO rich and beautiful. Have you made prints or cards of the image? It speaks to me so strongly. I also found Marc Chagall's White Crucifixion and hadn't seen it before. I can see how it made such a strong impression on you as a youngster. Thank you so much for your writing, and art..... Indeed - a privilege and duty to make our voices heard.

Thank you so much. I’m happy to have introduced you to White Crucifixion. It is not one of his more famous pieces, but it is my favorite. I have had a lot of requests for prints of We Will Dance Again, so I will make them. If you are interested please reach out to me at studio@annaabramzon.com
