Upper fragment of a foreman. Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, 1069 - 525 BC. MATERIAL: Terracotta. DIMENSIONS: 3.5 cm height. PROVENANCE: Private collection, Miklos Bokor (Budapest, 1927 - Paris, 2019), Paris, France. Miklos Bokor was a French-Hungarian painter and essayist born in Budapest on March 2, 1927 and died in Paris on March 18, 2019. Miklos Bokor was deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp with his entire family in 1944. After the death of his mother, he was transferred to Buchenwald, Rhemsdorf, Tröglitz and Kleinau with his father, who disappeared in Bergen-Belsen. After being liberated in 1945, he was repatriated to Budapest by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. After a first private exhibition in Budapest in 1953, Miklos Bokor remained in Paris and settled permanently in France in 1960. At the Janine Hoa gallery, which presented his paintings in 1962, he became friends with the poets Yves Bonnefoy and André du Bouchet, who would later regularly prologue his exhibitions. For more than 40 years he had a studio at La Ruche, the famous artists' residence in Paris. Boklor's art was inspired by his experiences in the Holocaust and his work reflects the horror of extermination. He once described this impact on his work as: In Auschwitz something happened that lurks in society like a breach, a wound that does not heal. Returning from death, one who has lived in his flesh and spirit the experience of dehumanization begins to paint the unspeakable. Much of Boklor's work is in the collections of the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris. As an artist he was interested in other painters as well as in cultures prior to the civilization that triggered such a terrible situation. He formed a large collection of archaeological objects, focusing mainly on the Near East and the birth of civilization on the banks of the Euphrates. CONDITION: Good condition.
