Kitty Klaidman

Kitty Klaidman uses art as a way to process the trauma and anger that surrounded living through the Holocaust during her early childhood. “The very sparseness of [Klaidman’s] work…speaks quietly of the hardness of those years and the strength of the human spirit,” one Washington Post critic said. After World War II, she moved to Israel and then the United States, where she began painting. Her delicate, richly toned acrylic paintings reveal gentle brightness and movement in natural landscapes.
