Zoran Music : "We are not the last"

From January 25 to June 15, 2025

Deported to Dachau in October 1944, Zoran Music (1909-2005) survived there until April 1945. At the risk of his life, he produced many drawings. Although he did not evoke the camp in his works in the immediate post-war period, it had a decisive influence on his creative work from the 1970s onwards. More than twenty-five years after his liberation, he began the cycle Nous ne sommes pas les derniers (We are not the last). In a series of works, including many almost monochrome paintings, Music evokes the intensity of the tragedy and the ‘silence’ of this funereal universe, retaining only the lines needed to depict the mass graves. Traces of a hell from which the survivors never fully returned, these canvases become the symbol of the horror of the concentration camp system.
