Dora Holzhandler was a French contemporary artist, born in 1928 in Paris, into a family of Polish refugees. She was later sent to live with a foster family, on a farm in Normandy, France. Holzhandler returned to her Jewish family, when she was five years old, before the family moved to London, in 1934. Though she endured the war in England, much of her extended family perished at Auschwitz, Poland. In 1948, she attended the Anglo-French Art School, in St. John’s Wood. Her childhood memories and Jewish roots permeate her work, as do her Buddhist beliefs. Holzhandler's innocent art has many fans, including Irish writer, Edna O’Brien, television art historian, Sister Wendy Beckett and comedian, Jack Dee, among others.

The Dissidents: Discourse on the Golden Mean
By Michael Tole
Located in New Orleans, LA
Michael Tole says of his work… This work draws a connection between the didactic moralizing tendencies of Neo Classicism (represented in the style of the painting) and Modernism (represented in the architectural setting). Though modern art eschews the naturalistic imagery used by Neo Classicists, both movements pursued a self-important, austere, self-consciously masculine aesthetic that they saw as synonymous with virtue. Set in the MoMA courtyard, a passel of men lounge about, regarding a golden statue which looks terribly out of place in this modernist vitrine. The uncomfortable architectural setting, prisonlike and cold, provides a foil for the odalisque-like young men sprawled on hard stone benches and paying homage to the central idol. In my current work, The Revisionist Histories, I am writing letters to art history, literature, and mythology in an attempt to reflect the social changes that have reshaped our society over the past century. As part of this agenda, I explore the evolution of gender norms, power dynamics, and representation within Western visual culture and what this implies for the negotiation between pleasure, justice, and our culturally specific discourse on beauty. The seed for The Revisionist Histories was sewn when I caught a glimpse of my preteen daughters watching music videos on their iPad as I chopped veggies for dinner. Out of the corner of my eye I caught glimpses of music videos featuring Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Doja Cat gyrating across the tiny screen. A better parent might have snatched the iPad away, but I was overcome with hallucinatory visions of this pop diva...
