Miriam Beerman (Expressionist/"Colorist")

Constantly being reminded that the world is unjust, Miriam Beerman is haunted by perpetrators of evil. Her dark expressionistic representation of the world resembles Goya in its unapologetic nature, yet instead of the villains being portrayed, it’s the victim. Being Jewish, she feels heavily connected to the occurrences of the Nazi Holocaust. Much of her work is taken from that injustice. Beerman is one of the first women to have a solo exhibit in the United States. She is admired by the many women artist who have come after her.
