Mutterfreude

<span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;">Miriam Cahn admires the brutality as well as the beauty of the human condition in life’s major events: birth, learning, emotion, conflict, morality and death. Mutterfreude (Mother's Joy) is about the ambiguous role of the mother. A woman suckles her child; their fuzzy, pink bodies fill the blood-red, womb-like space. The iconic image of mother and child, which traditionally should move the viewer, rather arouses unease here. [text 2023]</span><br><span style="font-size:12px;"><br></span>
