Edwin Salomon’s ‘Like Animals’ Existential Art: A Retrospective in honor of his 10th Yahrzeit

JL;DR SUMMARY Edwin Salomons' existential art is explored in this retrospective, highlighting his unique contribution to Israeli and Jewish art despite facing marginalization.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
