"#SidKlein has finally found his subject. More than half a century after he scrambled to pick a topic for his senior #art project at #BrooklynCollege — and settled on exploring the porcelain curves of a toilet bowl in a 20-painting series —he’s discovered a purpose.
#Klein, 78, took a five-decade hiatus from art between college graduation and retirement. He picked his brushes back up just a few months before the events of #Oct7.
Upon hearing of the #Hamas attacks, Klein processed the news with acrylics. Soon, he began looking back to the #Holocaust. He felt compelled to render contemporary and historical victims of hatred on paper and ultimately take on the mantle of combatting #antisemitism, not with words or weapons but with images.
“For the first time in my life, I’m so motivated in my art,” Klein told me over Zoom from his home in South #Florida."
