Throughout the museum, Maryan\u2019s extraordinary biography and prolific oeuvre represent a deeply moving monument to the perseverance of the human spirit and power of art to work through traumatic loss. Credited as being among the first artist-eyewitnesses to directly depict their experiences of the Shoah, Maryan&#8217;s unique approach to figurative art strove to solidarity across cultures and generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1016\" data-id=\"4870\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/92_49_-1024x1016.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/92_49_-1024x1016.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/92_49_-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/92_49_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/92_49_-768x762.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/92_49_-1536x1525.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/92_49_.jpg 1748w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"4871\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan-Personnage-1962-127-x-127-cms-oil-on-canvas-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan-Personnage-1962-127-x-127-cms-oil-on-canvas-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan-Personnage-1962-127-x-127-cms-oil-on-canvas-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan-Personnage-1962-127-x-127-cms-oil-on-canvas-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan-Personnage-1962-127-x-127-cms-oil-on-canvas-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan-Personnage-1962-127-x-127-cms-oil-on-canvas-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan-Personnage-1962-127-x-127-cms-oil-on-canvas-2048x2046.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Left: Maryan, Personnage, 1963&nbsp;.

Collection of Anne Wachsmann Guigon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Born to Abraham Schindel and Gitla Bursztyn in Nowy S\u0105cz, Poland in 1927, young Pinkas, the artist who came to be known as Maryan grew up in a traditional, working-class Jewish family. In 1939, Pinkas and his family were captured by the Nazis. Under his mother\u2019s maiden name, Bursztyn, he was imprisoned at various forced labor camps and finally at the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps. Pinkas Bursztyn, who survived several near-death experiences, was the sole survivor of his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the war, Bursztyn recovered from his physical injuries, which necessitated having his leg amputated. In 1947, he immigrated to then-Palestine to begin his artistic training, first in Jerusalem and, beginning in 1950, at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. As an act of radical self-definition, the young artist shed the name under which the Nazis persecuted him, adopting the name Maryan. Living in Paris for over a decade, he exhibited in prominent galleries, forged a distinct style independent from but adjacent to the \u00c9cole de Paris and the CoBrA group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After gaining a following in Paris, Maryan moved to New York City in the early 1960s, just as he developed his notion of the <em>personnage<\/em>\u2014using the French term for character to title the fictitious figures that dominated his mature oeuvre. These <em>personnages<\/em> are powerful vehicles for complex narratives and served as a conduit for the formal evolution of his distinctive painterly language. Working in a studio in the famed Chelsea Hotel during the 1970s\u2014which is recreated in an immersive installation in the exhibition\u2019s opening gallery\u2014he expanded upon the personage motif to create works that explore psychosexual tropes and other figures both historical and fictional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryan died of a heart attack at the age of fifty in 1977. His last decade was extremely prolific but emotionally and physically turbulent. While he had always refused being called a \u201cHolocaust artist,\u201d the psychological fallout of Maryan\u2019s experiences overwhelmed him in the early \u201870s. Under the care of a psychiatrist, Maryan filled notebooks with drawings and text that provide insights into his biography and recurrent motifs of his art. In his only film, <em>Ecce<\/em> <em>Homo<\/em> (1975), Maryan paired a first-person testimonial of his experiences in Nazi prison camps with images of other social-protest movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"830\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/MARY027-1024x830.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/MARY027-1024x830.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/MARY027-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/MARY027-768x622.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/MARY027-1536x1244.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/MARY027.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Maryan, Two Personnages, 1968.

Courtesy of Venus Over Manhattan, New York<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My Name Is Maryan<\/em> inserts this complex oeuvre into a larger narrative of postwar European and American art history. The exhibition takes Maryan\u2019s act of renaming himself as more than a gesture of self-definition; through it, Maryan forges a defiant yet questioning form of humanism that he dubbed \u201ctruth-painting\u201d (<em>peinture-v\u00e9rit\u00e9<\/em>). The exhibition restores Maryan\u2019s rightful place in postwar art history\u2014not only chronicling the work of an overlooked artist, but directly linking him to a larger context of his like-minded European and American contemporaries. Throughout the galleries, Maryan\u2019s oeuvre will be juxtaposed with works by artists such as Asger Jorn, Constant, Egill Jacobsen, and other members of the CoBrA group; as well as American artists such as H.C. Westermann, Leon Golub, and June Leaf. The first holistic exploration of Maryan\u2019s inspiring and defiant life and work, <em>My Name Is Maryan<\/em> seeks to build kinship with Maryan\u2019s story and Miami\u2019s diverse and thriving immigrant community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will be accompanied by a robust series of education and public programming in partnership with national organizations such as the Human Rights Watch, and feature additional reflections from the arts and local community: Curator and art historian Dr. Erica Moiah James (University of Miami), Holocaust scholar Oren Baruch Stier (Florida International University), and curator and filmmaker Leah Gordon.The exhibition will also be activated throughout Miami Art Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will travel to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in March 2023. MOCA will publish a 250-page full-color catalog that reproduces key works held in the exhibition along with other archival imagery. These will be accompanied by critical essays from exhibition curator Alison M. Gingeras; Noa Rosenberg, curator for Modern and Israeli art at Tel Aviv Museum of Art; Piotr S\u0142odkowski, assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and guest curator at the Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; and the psychoanalyst and cultural critic Dr. Jamieson Webster.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan_sitting_studio_looking_right-copy-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4878\" width=\"654\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan_sitting_studio_looking_right-copy-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan_sitting_studio_looking_right-copy-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan_sitting_studio_looking_right-copy-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan_sitting_studio_looking_right-copy-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/Maryan_sitting_studio_looking_right-copy.jpg 2032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><figcaption>Maryan, Chelsea Hotel Studio, New York circa 1974.

After the movie, guests will enjoy a conversation with Dr. Oren Stier, Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the FIU Holocaust &amp; Genocide Studies Program, and Kenny Schneider. \\nNorth Miami, FL\u2014The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami is pleased to announce its forthcoming exhibition My Name is Maryan\u2014a monographic presentation of four decades of paintings, sculptures, drawings and film by the iconoclastic, ground-breaking Polish-born artist Pinkas Bursztyn \u201cMaryan\u201d. The exhibition opens to the public on November 17, 2021, and will remain on view until October 2022. The exhibition reception will take place on December 2, in conjunction with Miami Art Week.\\nDrawing upon new scholarship and a trove of never-before-exhibited works from the artist\u2019s estate, My Name is Maryan will be the first retrospective to holistically examine all periods of Maryan\u2019s life and work. Throughout the museum, Maryan\u2019s extraordinary biography and prolific oeuvre represent a deeply moving monument to the perseverance of the human spirit and power of art to work through traumatic loss. Credited as being among the first artist-eyewitnesses to directly depict their experiences of the Shoah, Maryan's unique approach to figurative art strove to solidarity across cultures and generations.\\nBorn to Abraham Schindel and Gitla Bursztyn in Nowy S\u0105cz, Poland in 1927, young Pinkas, the artist who came to be known as Maryan grew up in a traditional, working-class Jewish family. In 1939, Pinkas and his family were captured by the Nazis. Under his mother\u2019s maiden name, Bursztyn, he was imprisoned at various forced labor camps and finally at the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps. Pinkas Bursztyn, who survived several near-death experiences, was the sole survivor of his family.\\nAfter the war, Bursztyn recovered from his physical injuries, which necessitated having his leg amputated. In 1947, he immigrated to then-Palestine to begin his artistic training, first in Jerusalem and, beginning in 1950, at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. As an act of radical self-definition, the young artist shed the name under which the Nazis persecuted him, adopting the name Maryan. Living in Paris for over a decade, he exhibited in prominent galleries, forged a distinct style independent from but adjacent to the \u00c9cole de Paris and the CoBrA group.\\nAfter gaining a following in Paris, Maryan moved to New York City in the early 1960s, just as he developed his notion of the personnage\u2014using the French term for character to title the fictitious figures that dominated his mature oeuvre. These personnages are powerful vehicles for complex narratives and served as a conduit for the formal evolution of his distinctive painterly language. Working in a studio in the famed Chelsea Hotel during the 1970s\u2014which is recreated in an immersive installation in the exhibition\u2019s opening gallery\u2014he expanded upon the personage motif to create works that explore psychosexual tropes and other figures both historical and fictional.\\nMaryan died of a heart attack at the age of fifty in 1977. His last decade was extremely prolific but emotionally and physically turbulent. While he had always refused being called a \u201cHolocaust artist,\u201d the psychological fallout of Maryan\u2019s experiences overwhelmed him in the early \u201870s. Under the care of a psychiatrist, Maryan filled notebooks with drawings and text that provide insights into his biography and recurrent motifs of his art. In his only film, Ecce Homo (1975), Maryan paired a first-person testimonial of his experiences in Nazi prison camps with images of other social-protest movements.\\nMy Name Is Maryan inserts this complex oeuvre into a larger narrative of postwar European and American art history. The exhibition takes Maryan\u2019s act of renaming himself as more than a gesture of self-definition; through it, Maryan forges a defiant yet questioning form of humanism that he dubbed \u201ctruth-painting\u201d (peinture-v\u00e9rit\u00e9). The exhibition restores Maryan\u2019s rightful place in postwar art history\u2014not only chronicling the work of an overlooked artist, but directly linking him to a larger context of his like-minded European and American contemporaries. Throughout the galleries, Maryan\u2019s oeuvre will be juxtaposed with works by artists such as Asger Jorn, Constant, Egill Jacobsen, and other members of the CoBrA group; as well as American artists such as H.C. Westermann, Leon Golub, and June Leaf. The first holistic exploration of Maryan\u2019s inspiring and defiant life and work, My Name Is Maryan seeks to build kinship with Maryan\u2019s story and Miami\u2019s diverse and thriving immigrant community.\\nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a robust series of education and public programming in partnership with national organizations such as the Human Rights Watch, and feature additional reflections from the arts and local community: Curator and art historian Dr. Erica Moiah James (University of Miami), Holocaust scholar Oren Baruch Stier (Florida International University), and curator and filmmaker Leah Gordon.The exhibition will also be activated throughout Miami Art Week.\\nThe exhibition will travel to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in March 2023. MOCA will publish a 250-page full-color catalog that reproduces key works held in the exhibition along with other archival imagery. These will be accompanied by critical essays from exhibition curator Alison M. Gingeras; Noa Rosenberg, curator for Modern and Israeli art at Tel Aviv Museum of Art; Piotr S\u0142odkowski, assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and guest curator at the Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; and the psychoanalyst and cultural critic Dr. Jamieson Webster.\\nAbout Alison M.
