Artist Kalman Aron has eclipsed evil and delved into visual truth and beauty. A Holocaust survivor, his experiences in concentration camps had a lifetime effect on his painting and his capability to convey the heart of his subjects. After the war, Aron's skills were acknowledged with a full scholarship to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and he received a master's in fine arts degree. At the end of 1949, he immigrated to America and settled in Los Angeles, a prolific and accomplished artist. Aron's media are varied and manifold - oils, pastels, acrylics, pen and ink, and watercolours - and his approach moves through a new arena of artistic expression with time. From his drawings of children, portraits, Los Angeles landscapes, and abstract drawings, among numerous other subjects, Aron has discovered healing through his art. His example is a symbol of hope and restoration. This beautifully illustrated book is a visual testament to that hope. AUTHOR: Susan Beilby Magee, graduate of Pomona College and Wharton and formerly a White House Fellow, is a certified hypnotherapist with 25 years experience in the healing arts.
