A couple weeks ago we posted about the London exhibition "J’Accuse," by Nicole Farhi, that features sculptures of 25 victims of injustice (including Ethel Rosenberg). As a follow up, we've just learned and are sharing this article about Ethel Rosenberg biographer Anne Sebba's recent visit to the exhibition. Sebba's book, "Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy," inspired Farhi's inclusion of Ethel Rosenberg's sculpture in her collection.
Says the artist, "I was reading a book by Anne Sebba about the tragic life and death of Ethel Rosenberg. I was really struck by that story, by her death, which was awful. I was so shocked when I read what had happened to this woman, innocent of the crimes she was accused of, that I had to sculpt her face to free myself from my emotions."
*Caution, the article includes disturbing content regarding Ethel's execution.
