Born in 1913 in Lw\u00f3w (now the Ukrainian city Lviv) and raised in Krak\u00f3w, Erna Rosenstein (1913-2004) emerged as part of the Polish avant-garde in the 1930s, associated with the Krak\u00f3w Group. She studied at the Wiener Frauen Akademie in Vienna in 1932-1934 and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krak\u00f3w between 1934-1937. She was part of a tight-knit circle whose artistic innovations were rooted in socially progressive left-leaning politics and who mobilized actions under the Communist Union of Polish Youth. As part of the Krak\u00f3w Group, she identified with such fellow artists as Jonasz Stern, Jadwiga Maziarska, and especially, Tadeusz Kantor, whose underground experimental artistic and theater activities embraced Surrealism. In late 1937, prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, she spent several months in Paris where she saw the Exposition Internationale du Surr\u00e9alisme (International Surrealist Exhibition) organized by Andr\u00e9 Breton and Paul \u00c9luard. Passing through Germany on her way home to Poland, she also visited the Berlin edition of the Nazi Party\u2019s notorious Degenerate Art Exhibition. These two shows made a profound impact upon Rosenstein\u2019s early artistic ideas and undoubtedly influenced her storied career.<\/p>\n\n\n

When war erupted and the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, Rosenstein returned with her family to Lw\u00f3w. They spent two years living in the Soviet occupied city, which provided less hostile conditions for Jewish families; there Rosenstein joined the Association of Artists. When Lw\u00f3w was seized by the German army in 1941, the artist and her mother moved to the Jewish ghetto while her father went into hiding. The family acquired false identity papers in 1942, and escaped the ghetto to flee toward Warsaw. The horrifying events that followed would haunt the imagery and themes Rosenstein explored in her work for the ensuing five decades \u2013 in the process of the family\u2019s sojourn, Rosenstein witnessed the brutal murder of her parents in a forest in the middle of the night. Wounded but able to escape, she survived the next three years of the war by living under false identities, changing the whereabouts of her lodging in Warsaw, and ultimately hiding in the small rural town of Cz\u0119stochowa until the war\u2019s end. While Rosenstein produced artworks in the prewar period, nothing survived the war. She resumed painting in 1945, and, in the years that followed, joined the Polish Workers\u2019 Party, became a member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers (ZPAP) and the Young Artists Group, and exhibited her work in the National Modern Art Exhibition in Krak\u00f3w (1948 \u2013 1949). In 1947 and 1948, she traveled to Switzerland, England and Paris, where she saw a series of Surrealist exhibitions. While in Paris, she met her future husband, the literary critic and translator Artur Sandauer, with whom she eventually settled in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n

During the Socialist Realist period, between 1949 and 1955, Rosenstein withdrew from official a rtistic l ife; defying the communist-imposed artistic doctrine, she worked outside the mainstream art world. In 1955, she became one of the nine artists who reactivated the Krak\u00f3w Group, staging the first modern art exhibition of the post-Stalin \u2018thaw\u2019 era. Her first solo exhibition was held in Warsaw in 1958 at the Krzywe Ko\u0142o Gallery of Modern Art, run at the time by Marian Bogusz, a fellow artist and apostle of modernity. She came into prominence with a 1967 monographic exhibition at the Zach\u0119ta in Warsaw, a presentation designed by Tadeusz Kantor and inspired by the design of Surrealist exhibitions. She then participated in numerous national and international exhibitions such as the Golden Grape Symposiums in Zielona G\u00f3ra and took part in Kantor\u2019s happenings \u2018Cricotage\u2019 (1965) and \u2018Panoramic Sea Happening\u2019 (1967). In 1976, she was awarded the prestigious Cyprian Kamil Norwid Art Critics Award, and in 1996, the Jan Cybis Prize, Poland\u2019s most respected artistic distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n

Erna Rosenstein was an author of paintings, assemblages, drawings, objects, and artist books. She published seven volumes of poetry, among others \u015alad (Trace) in 1972 and Spoza granic mowy (From Beyond the Edges of Speech) in 1976. She died on November 10, 2004 in Warsaw.

Recent international presentations of Rosenstein\u2019s works include Unorthodox at The Jewish Museum in New York (2016), documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel (2017), and the travelling exhibition Surrealism Beyond Borders at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Tate Modern in London (2021-2022).Caption and courtesy information<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family acquired false identity papers in 1942, and escaped the ghetto to flee toward Warsaw. The horrifying events that followed would haunt the imagery and themes Rosenstein explored in her work for the ensuing five decades \u2013 in the process of the family\u2019s sojourn, Rosenstein witnessed the brutal murder of her parents in a forest in the middle of the night. Wounded but able to escape, she survived the next three years of the war by living under false identities, changing the whereabouts of her lodging in Warsaw, and ultimately hiding in the small rural town of Cz\u0119stochowa until the war\u2019s end. While Rosenstein produced artworks in the prewar period, nothing survived the war. She resumed painting in 1945, and, in the years that followed, joined the Polish Workers\u2019 Party, became a member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers (ZPAP) and the Young Artists Group, and exhibited her work in the National Modern Art Exhibition in Krak\u00f3w (1948 \u2013 1949). In 1947 and 1948, she traveled to Switzerland, England and Paris, where she saw a series of Surrealist exhibitions. While in Paris, she met her future husband, the literary critic and translator Artur Sandauer, with whom she eventually settled in Warsaw.\nDuring the Socialist Realist period, between 1949 and 1955, Rosenstein withdrew from official a rtistic l ife; defying the communist-imposed artistic doctrine, she worked outside the mainstream art world. In 1955, she became one of the nine artists who reactivated the Krak\u00f3w Group, staging the first modern art exhibition of the post-Stalin \u2018thaw\u2019 era. Her first solo exhibition was held in Warsaw in 1958 at the Krzywe Ko\u0142o Gallery of Modern Art, run at the time by Marian Bogusz, a fellow artist and apostle of modernity. She came into prominence with a 1967 monographic exhibition at the Zach\u0119ta in Warsaw, a presentation designed by Tadeusz Kantor and inspired by the design of Surrealist exhibitions. She then participated in numerous national and international exhibitions such as the Golden Grape Symposiums in Zielona G\u00f3ra and took part in Kantor\u2019s happenings \u2018Cricotage\u2019 (1965) and \u2018Panoramic Sea Happening\u2019 (1967). In 1976, she was awarded the prestigious Cyprian Kamil Norwid Art Critics Award, and in 1996, the Jan Cybis Prize, Poland\u2019s most respected artistic distinction.\nErna Rosenstein was an author of paintings, assemblages, drawings, objects, and artist books. She published seven volumes of poetry, among others \u015alad (Trace) in 1972 and Spoza granic mowy (From Beyond the Edges of Speech) in 1976. She died on November 10, 2004 in Warsaw. Her works are in the collections of majors Polish and international collections such as the National Museums in Warsaw, Wroc\u0142aw and Krak\u00f3w as well as the Muzeum Sztuji in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. Recent international presentations of Rosenstein\u2019s works include Unorthodox at The Jewish Museum in New York (2016), documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel (2017), and the travelling exhibition Surrealism Beyond Borders at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Tate Modern in London (2021-2022).Caption and courtesy information\nAll works: Erna Rosenstein \u00a9 The Estate of Erna Rosenstein \/ Adam Sandauer\nCourtesy Hauser & Wirth and Foksal Gallery Foundation\nLead image: Erna Rosenstein in her studio on Kar\u0142owicza Street in Warsaw, 1958.
