Art after Tragedy - Visual Histories from the Rubble
What is it that a people are to do with the ruins of a past life? In the post-quake reconstruction of Haiti, several artists are creating a visual history from the rubble. In this collection of slides, you’ll find the work of Port-au-Prince artist Jean Herard Celeur.
Heavily inspired by vodou imagery, his work captures the fresh patina from the aftermath on modern materials.
This art coming out of Haiti makes me think of other post-traumatic genres of art in recent memory.
66 years after the A-bomb attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the art crafted by survivors retells the tragedy in a more profound way than any text reading of the events. (Image from a series titled Nagasaki Nightmare)
In what ways has America dealt with tragedy with art? Surely the post-911 Americana was a coping mechanism that private businesses benefited from greatly. It seems that most American tragedies are often removed from the U.S. geographically. Does that make us a hedonistic culture involved in are own personal tragedies?
