Deborah Howard's Holocaust Portraits and Papers

Title

Deborah Howard's Holocaust Portraits and Papers

Description

Deborah Howard is an Associate Professor and Head of Painting Program at the University of Denver. After a discussion on racial stereotypes and aging in a Figure Painting course Howard was teaching, she began to develop her Portraits of Child Holocaust Survivors project and settled on drawing as the media for the project. Howard has drawn and painted twenty-five people who escaped, hid or survived concentration camps during the Jewish Holocaust of WWII. Four portraits from the project are in the collection at Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, Israel. The remaining 21 portraits are in this collection. The collection is comprised of 21 portraits of Holocaust survivors, original sketches for the portraits, exhibition booklet and exhibit publications, photographs and slides of survivors, audio-visual materials (VHS, DVD, micro-cassette) and supporting files and publications for the portrait project. The collection also includes other original artworks by Deborah Howard that deal with the Holocaust.
